Pythagoras' theorem is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle. The length of the entire walkway to the nearest hundredth of a yard is 50.24 yds.
The Pythagorean theorem, sometimes known as Pythagoras' theorem, is a basic relationship between the three sides of a right triangle in Euclidean geometry. The size of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares on the other two sides, according to this rule.
In order to calculate the length of the walkway, we need to calculate the value of b first. Therefore, the value of b using the Pythagoras theorem can be written as,
[tex]D^2=12^2+b^2\\15^2=12^2+b^2\\225=144+b^2\\b^2= 81\\b=9[/tex]
As we got the value of b, now the value of each of the four hypotenuses can be written as,
[tex]A = \sqrt{12^2+8^2} = \sqrt{208}=14.422\\\\B=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}=\sqrt{100} = 10\\\\C =\sqrt{6^2+9^2}=\sqrt{117} = 10.82\\\\D = 15[/tex]
Adding the value of all the hypotenuse to get the length of the walkway, therefore, the length will be,
[tex]Sum = A+B+C+D = 14.422+10+10.82+15 = 50.24[/tex]
Hence, the length of the entire walkway to the nearest hundredth of a yard is 50.24 yds.
