Question

A football field shaped like a rectangle is 64m wide and 100meters 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

Hi

the diagonal cut your field in two rectangle triangle

then : according to Pythagoras : diagonal² = 100² +64² = 14096

diagonal = √14096 ≈118.73 meters

well - √14096 is also a solution but in real life - 118.73 has no meaning.

I keep +118.73
