Question

A rectangular park is 6 miles long and 3 miles wide. How long is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park?

Answer 1

6.7 miles Long is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park

Answer 2

6^2+3^2= C^2
36 + 9 = 45

since 45 is the sum of two squared numbers, then we need to find the square root of 45.

The square root of 45 is around 6.078

the diagonal route was 6.078 miles long.
