Apply the old 3,4,5 rule. 3 foot along wall, 4 foot along fence and 5

for the hypotenuse to make the right angle.

The OP is in the UK, and the EU has forced them to use metres for
measurements. Of course this changes everything. If he wants to use
3 metres and 4 metres, he's going to need a trig calculator to find
the length of the hypotenuse. Just wanted to warn you, OP.


I think I could do that one in my head, let me think now, yes I think I
have got it, the hypotenuse would be 5 metres. ;-)
