Answer:
Explanation:
the diagonal of the rectangular plot of land can be found using Pythagoras theorem (the diagonal is the hypotenuse)
Given
length of land x= 48m
width of land y= 20m
digonal z= ?
[tex]z^2= x^2+y^2\\\\z=\sqrt{ x^2+y^2} \\[/tex]
substituting the values of x and y into the equation we can solve for z
[tex]z=\sqrt{ 48^2+20^2} \\\\z=\sqrt{ 2304+400} \\z=\sqrt{ 2704} \\z=52m\\[/tex]
The diagonal is 52m
Hence since the interval = 22m the number if treee is
[tex]\frac{52}{22} = 2.36\\[/tex]
The number of trees must be whole numbers , the number of tree is 2
