You are planning to plant a triangular garden in your backyard, as shown. You plan to put up a fence around the garden to keep out animals. Find the length of fencing you need to the nearest meter.

Lenght of the hypotenuse can be calculated using coordinates of the two vertices of the ∆ that forms the hypotenuse lenght and also using the distance formula.

Coordinates of the two vertices = (10, 0) and (16, 8).

[tex] distance = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} [/tex]

Let,

[tex] (10, 0) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] (16, 8) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

[tex] d = \sqrt{(16 - 10)^2 + (8 - 0)^2} [/tex]

[tex] d = \sqrt{(6)^2 + (8)^2} [/tex]

[tex] d = \sqrt{36 + 64} = \sqrt{100} [/tex]

[tex] d = 10 [/tex]

Length of fencing = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 m
