    First find the side of the square....root 4500 = 67 m ( to nearest m).

    Length of diagonal by pythagoras is root 9000 = 95m ( to nearest m)

    Travelling at 3km per hour ( which is what I think you meant)

    He travels 3000 m in 3600 seconds

    1 m in 3600/3000 s

    95 m in 3600x 95/3000 = 114 seconds or 1 minute and 54 seconds.

    The side of a 4500 m^2 square is 67 m.

    The diagonal is sqrt(2*67^2) =~95 m.

    If he is walking 3000 m /3600 min. it will take him 1 min 54 sec.

    His walk rate is equivalent to taking 3600 secs to walk 3000 m.

    Each 5 metres takes 6 secs to walk.

    Diagonal D = √(2)s where s is side of square

    D^2 = 2s^2 = 9000

    D = 30√(10) metres

    Time = 36√(10) secs ~ 114 seconds.

    Side of square = √4500

    Diagonal = √2*√4500 = √9000

    = 94.9 m

    So it is impossible to walk 3 km along it
