The area of a rectangular field is 48m2 and one of its sides is 6m . How long will a lady take to cross the field diagonally at the rate of 20m/min

It will take her approximately 28 seconds to cross the diagonal of the pitch

Step-by-step explanation:

If we can find the length of the diameter of the field (in Metres), we can easily find the time it takes her to cross this length using motion equations.

Step one: Find the length of the field from its area.

The field is rectangular in shape. The area of the field is 48m^2. To get the area of the field, we had to multiply its length and its breadth.

i.e area = length X breadth.

Let us assume that the breadth = 6m

its length will be area / breadth = 42/ 6 = 7m

The length of the pitch = 7 m

Step Two: Find the length of the diagonal using Pythagoras' theorem.

From Pythagoras'theorem, the length of the diagonal  can be obtained by

The length of the diagonal is 9.22m

Step three: Find the time using her speed and the distance she needs to cover.

Time = distance / speed

time = 9.22 /20 = 0.46 minutes

It will take her approximately 28 seconds to cross the diagonal of the pitch

answer: no

step-by-step explanation: because the big angle will spread away the 2 side that it is on and make the opposite side even longer.
