I found an image that has a similar problem.

The squares were in a diamond form. There were six squares. To get the length of the path, I have to solve for the diagonal of the square.

To solve for the diagonal of the square, I have to multiply the length one side by the square root of 2.

diagonal of one square = 15 in  √2 = 21.21 in

21.21 in 6 squares = 127.28 inches

The length of the path is 127 inches.

The required length of the path is 127.3 inches

How to calculate the diagonal of a square

First step is to calculate e]the diagonal of each square as shown:

L = 15  √2

L = 21.2 in

Since there are 6 squares in total, hence the length of the path is calculated as:

Length of path =  6 21.2

Length of path = 127.3 inches

Hence the required length of the path is 127.3 inches
