The required length of the slanted area is 15 yards.
What are Pythagorean triplets?
In a right-angled triangle, its side, such as hypotenuse, perpendicular and base is Pythagorean triplets.
What is pythgorean theorem ?
Pythagorean theorem is defined as to find the unknown side of a right-angled triangle. eg, Two sides of a right-angled triangle are given as 6 cm and 9 cm, then the hypotenuse (the third side) can be calculated using the formula, h² = p2²+ b²; where 'h' is the hypotenuse and 'p' and 'b' are the perpendicular and base.
Here,
let the hypotenuse be h
now applying the Pythagorean theorem,
h² = 9² + 12²
h²= 81 + 144
h² = 225
h = √225
h = 15
Thus, the required length of the slanted area is 15 yards.
