Question: A contractor is designing two rectangular park paths and needs to estimate the length of the diagonal paving across each path for material planning. The dimensions of the two paths are: Path A: length = square root of (50) meters, width= square root of (18) meters and Path B: length = 6.5 meters, width = 5.2 meters. Which path will require more material for diagonal paving, and by approximately how much more?
A) Path A will require slightly more material than Path B, with a difference of less than 0.1 meters.
B) Path B will require more material, but the difference is negligible (less than 0.1 meters).
C) Path A is at least 1 meter longer than Path B.
D) Both paths require the same amount of material exactly.
