Rob, an architect, visits the site of a building he has designed. His design calls for the corners where each wall meets to be square at 90°. The project manager has placed stakes at each corner to guide workers in building the walls. He goes to one of the stakes and, using a laser measure, finds that the distance of one wall will be 27 meters and the other wall will be 36 meters. Then he measures the diagonal length and determines it to be 48 meters. What will he likely tell the project manager? The stakes need to be adjusted to improve the wall supports.
The stakes need to be adjusted because the corner is less than 90°.
