clearly A, from the Pythagorean Theorem.
Now just solve for w.
Answered by Kenny
Clearly the first

A.11^2+w^2=19^2

Reason be is that with the diagonal crossing the rectangular garden

It immediately forms a right angle triangle

Which give rises to the Pythagoras theorem

11²+w²=19²

W²=19²-11²

W=√(19²-11²)

A and D I did the math 11 squared is 121 and 19 squared is 361 so I subtracted 121 from 361 and got 240 and 15.5 times 15.5 equals 240 so it's 15.5 hope this helps
