Option a)100
Option a)100 m
Length of the diagonal of a square:
d = sqroot ( a^ 2 + a ^ 2 ) = sqroot ( 2 a ^ 2 ) = sqroot ( 2 ) * a
The area of a square is A = a ^ 2
So a = sqroot ( A )
1 hectare = 10,000 m ^ 2
0.5 hectare = 5,000 m ^ 2
a = sqroot ( A ) =
sqroot ( 5,000 ) =
sqroot ( 50 * 100 ) =
sqroot ( 50 ) * sqroot ( 100 ) =
sqroot ( 50 ) * 10 meters
d = sqroot ( 2 ) * a
d = sqroot ( 2 ) * sqroot ( 50 ) * 10 =
sqroot ( 2 * 50 ) * 10 =
sqroot ( 100 ) * 10 =
10 * 10 = 100 meters
d = sqroot ( a^ 2 + a ^ 2 ) = sqroot ( 2 a ^ 2 ) = sqroot ( 2 ) * a
The area of a square is A = a ^ 2
So a = sqroot ( A )
1 hectare = 10,000 m ^ 2
0.5 hectare = 5,000 m ^ 2
a = sqroot ( A ) =
sqroot ( 5,000 ) =
sqroot ( 50 * 100 ) =
sqroot ( 50 ) * sqroot ( 100 ) =
sqroot ( 50 ) * 10 meters
d = sqroot ( 2 ) * a
d = sqroot ( 2 ) * sqroot ( 50 ) * 10 =
sqroot ( 2 * 50 ) * 10 =
sqroot ( 100 ) * 10 =
10 * 10 = 100 meters
