A diagonal shortcut across a rectangular lot is 130 feet long. The lot is 50 feet long. What is the other dimension of the lot

the width should be 120 ft. your welcome :)

Answer 2

We'll use the Pythagorean Theorem
130^2 = side^2 +50^2
side ^ 2 = 16,900 -2,500
side ^ 2 = 14,400
side = square root (14,400)
side = 120 feet
