A rectangular field measures 616m by 456m. Fencing posts are placed along it's sides at equal distances. What will be the distance between the posts if they are place as far apart as possible?

766.41m

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the situation forms 2 right triangles (see attachment) we have to apply the Pythagorean Theorem for one triangle.  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case the diagonal distance between corners of the field, which is the distance between the posts if they are placed as far apart as possible ) and a and b are the other sides.  

Replacing with the values given:  

c^2 = 616^2 + 456^2  

c^2 = 379,456+207,936  

c^2 =587,392

c = √587,392

c = 766.41m

So, she is within the area serviced by the tower (20 miles)  

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.  

answer:

it is general formula that is used to write value to its excet position

a11 a12 a13

a21 a22 a23

it is the example of order 2 by 3 matrix in this

a11 means value occur in 1 st row 1st column

a12 means value occurs in 1st row 2nd column

a13 means value occur in 1st row and 3rd column

a21 means value occurs in 2nd row and 1st column

a22 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 2nd column

a23 means value occurs in 2nd row and in 3rd column
