Question

If the diagonal path is 750 feet long and the width of the park is 450 feet, what is the length, in the feet, of the park?

Answer 1

The length is 600 ft

Explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem since we know the diagonal which is the hypotenuse and the width

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

450 ^2 + b^2 = 750^2

b^2 = 750^2 - 450^2

b^2 =562500-202500

b^2 =360000

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(360000)

b =600
