Question

How far would it be if you ran diagonally across the field? Round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

116.61 metre

Explanation:

The triangle created by the diagonal is a right angled triangle so we use pythagoras theorem to find the length of diagonal.

h²= p² + b²

Here,

h = ?

p= 60

b= 100

h² = 60² + 100²

h² = 3600 + 10000

h² = 13600

h = 116.61
