Question

A park is shaped like a rectangle with a length 2 times its width w. What is asimplified expression for the distance between opposite corners of the park?

Answer 1

Using pythagorean theorem:

$\begin{gathered} d^2=w^2+2w^2^{} \\ d^2=3w^2 \\ d=\sqrt[]{3w^2} \\ d=\sqrt[]{3}w \end{gathered}$
