Question

Solve the following pythagorean theorem question and round to the nearest tenth if necessary. Please show all your work.

A soccer field is a rectangle 90 meters wide and 120 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner to the corner diagonally across. What is this distance?

Answer 1

90×90=8,100 (length 1) --> 120×120=14,400 (length 2) --> lengths minus eachother 14,400-8,100=6,300 --> divide by 2 6,300÷2=3,150
