A square garden plot measures 44 yards on each side. What is the length of the diagonal of this plot?

  44√2 yards ≈ 62.23 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

You can uses the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal. It is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with side lengths of 44 yards. Then the diagonal measure is ...

  d = √(44² +44²) = √(44² × 2) = 44√2

The length of the diagonal of the plot is 44√2 yards, about 62.23 yards.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
