Question
A man walked diagonally across a square lot. Approximately, what was the percent saved by not walking along the edges?
Answer: Option C
- Let the side of the square(ABCD) be x metres.
Then, AB + BC = 2x metres.
AC = 2x = (1.41x) m.
Saving on 2x metres = (0.59x) m.
Saving % = 0.59x x 100 % = 30% (approx.) 2x
