Answer:

70.71m

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the diagonal, we can use Pythagiras theorem by splitting the field in half and creating a right angled triangle.

A^2+B^2=C^2

50^2+50^2=C^2

5000=C^2

Square root 5000= 70.71m (2dp)

Hope this helped!

Since there is a barricade placed along the diagonal sq field, let's focus on one side of the triangle.

A pythagoras theorem formula can be used for right angle triangle.

So now we let the barricade be X.

By Pythagoras Theorem,

X² = 50² + 50²

X = sq root (50² +50²)

= 70.711 m ( 5sf)

= 70.7 m ( 3sf)

Therefore, the length of barricade is 70.7 m
