  6.0 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The desired length is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 5.1 m and 3.2 m. The Pythagorean theorem tells you that length (in meters) is ...

  length = √(5.1^2 +3.2^2) = √36.25

  length ≈ 6.0208 . . . . meters

The plank of wood is about 6.0 meters long.

they can both be solutions depends on the equation
