Calculation:
From the diagram it can be seen that the length of Fletcher place is 6 km and Sandalwood place is 5 km.
Let the triangles is shown below as:
Here, AB shows Fletcher place, AC shows Central Park Dr, ED shows Sandalwood place and BC shows Beechwold Boulevard.
Triangle EAD is a right angle triangle. By Pythagoras theorem the length of AD is:
It can also be observed that the triangles AED and ABD are similar. By similarity property of triangles the ratio of corresponding sides are equal.
The length of BCcan be calculated by Pythagoras theorem as:
Therefore, the length of Beechwold Boulevard is 10 km.
