Jules owns a square plot of land that measures 30 yards on each side. he plans to divide the land in half by building a fence, as shown by the dotted line below. how many yards of fencing will jules need?

a) 15 yd
b) 30 yd
c) 30 square root 2 yd
d) 30 square root 3 yd

Jules will need the fencing length of  to build the fence. Hence, option (c) is correct.

Given data:

The length of each side of yard is, AB = BC = CD = AD = 30 yards.

As shown by the dotted line, the fencing should be done along the diagonal BD of the given square plot. Then, applying Pythagoras theorem to find the fencing length BD as,

Substitute the values as,

Thus, we can conclude that Jules will need the fencing length of   to build the fence along the square plot. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

we know that

The length of the fence is equal to the length of the diagonal of the square

so

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

we have

substitute

therefore

the answer is the option C

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
