We can use a diagram to show the backyard:
The length of the diagonal can be gotten using the Pythagorean Theorem given to be:
[tex]c^2=a^2+b^2[/tex]
where c is the length of the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides.
Therefore, we can calculate the length of the hypotenuse to be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x^2=24^2+45^2 \\ x^2=576+2025 \\ x^2=2601 \\ x=\sqrt[]{2601} \\ x=51 \end{gathered}[/tex]
The length of the chicken wire fence will be 51 m.
