MrGreen has a 35 by 70 foot rectangular garden He wants to fence the diagonal to divide the garden into two triangles About how many feet of fence does he need?

Bisecting the garden this way creates 2 right triangles. The diagonal fence is the hypotenuse of the right triangle, so it's length is calculated as such:
352+702=c2
1225+4900=6125
c2=6125
c=78.26237
Mr. green needs about 78 feet of Fencing. Since he must round UP to compete the fence, he should purchase 79 feet.

How do you divide a square into 2 triangles and 2 trapezoids?
By cutting through its diagonal and cutting off each corner parallel to its diagonal which will leave you with 2 triangles and 2 trapezoids.
A lawn is a rectangle 15 ft 8ft wide you need to place a pipe diagonal of the lawn it will divide the area into to right triangles what will be the length of the diagonal piece?
120 feet
In which parallelogram does the diagonal divide the parallelogram into two congruent right triangles?
It is a rhombus because its diagonals meet at right angles.
How do you find the area of a rectangle when one diagonal is given?
Divide the rectangle in two triangles and then use the pythagorean theorem to find the remaining sides.
The sum of the interior angle measures of an octagon?
To find interior angle measurements, you must divide the shape into triangles by drawing diagonal lines. The diagonal lines draw triangles, and the interior angle measure of triangles are always 180 degrees. The sum of interior angles of an octagon is 1080 degrees. How ever many triangles you have, multiply it by 180. See octagons in the link for more help,

Does a diagonal divide a square into two isoceles right angles?
Yes. An isosceles triangle has two angles the same. Dividing a square into two across one diagonal produces two isosceles triangles with a right-angle at the third corner.
Where did the area of a rhombus come from?
If you multiply the lengths of the two diagonals, and divide by 2, you get the area of a rhombus. How does this work: Call the diagonals A & B for clarity. Diagonal A will split the rhombus into 2 congruent triangles. Looking at one of these triangles, its base is the diagonal A, and its height is 1/2 of diagonal B. So the area of one of the triangles is (1/2)*base*height = (1/2)*A*(B/2) = A*B/4. The other triangle has the same area, so the two areas together make up the whole rhombus = 2*(A*B/4) = A*B/2.
Does a diagonal of a parralelogram divide a parallelogram into two congruent triangles?
Yes, the diagonal splits the parallelogram into two equal triangle aka congruent the sides will stay the same, the two angles being divided are going to be split in half, one on each side, so its the same
Show photo how to divide squares into fourths?
Draw diagonal lines to form a diagonal cross in each square, so dividing all the squares into four triangles in each. A pencil and a straightedge is all that is needed, no measuring to form vertical and horizontal lines to divide each square into four smaller squares is required. Can't show a photo or graphics in Answers, I believe.
