Question

A rectangular football field is 64 meters wide and 100 maters long. A player runs from one corner of the field in a diagonal line to the opposite corner. How far did the player run?

Answer 1

119 or 118.726577

Explanation:

We should use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

a^2+ b^2=c^2

64^2+100^2=c^2

4096+10000=14096

c^2=14096

c=\sqrt{14096}14096

And the root of 14096 is 118.726577.

So the Answer is About 119 meters, or 118.726577

hope this helps!
