Question

Help me please with math !! :(

Answer 1

The person would have to run around 40.18 yards more if they ran X-Y-Z compared to X-Z.

Explanation:

If a person ran from point X to point Y, then to point Z, they would have to run 153.5 yards

If a person ran from point X to point Z, they would have to run :

53.3² + 100² = c²

2,840.89 + 10,000 = c²

c²=12840.89

c = 113.317650....-

Point X to point Z is rounded to about 113.32 yards.

153.5-113.32=40.18

Answer 2

The person would have to run 40.2 yards more if they ran from point X-Y-Z instead of running straight from point X to point Z.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

If a person ran from point X to point Y, then to point Z, they would have to run 153.5 yards ( 100 ( length ) + 53.3 ( width ) ).

If a person ran from point X to point Z, they would have to run :

53.3² + 100² = c² ( Pythagorean Therom )

2,840.89 + 10,000 = c²

12840.89 = c²

c =
`√(12840.89)`

c = 113.317650...

Point X to point Z is around 113.32 yards.

The person would have to run around 40.18 yards more if they ran X-Y-Z compared to X-Z.
