Steve is turning half of his backyard into a chicken pen. His backyard is a 242424 meter by 454545 meter rectangle. He wants to put a chicken wire fence that stretches diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. How many meters of fencing will Steve need?

51 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the backyard is rectangular having a length, l=45 meters, and a width, w=24 meters as shown in the figure.

As wants to put a chicken wire fence that stretches diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner. So,

The length of fencing = The length of the diagonal AC or BD

As the length of both the diagonals of a rectangle are equals, AC=BD.

The length of fencing [length of the diagonal]

meters

Hence, Steve needs 51 meters of fencing.

it goes right

1. a^4+8a^3+24a^2+32a+16

2.y^8+8y^7+28y^6+56y^5+70y^4+56y^3+28y^2+8y+1

3.x^6-3x^4y^2+3x^2y^4-y^6
