Question

A rectangular soccer field is 80 meters wide and 110 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner of the field to the opposite corner diagonally. How far do the players have to run?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Goven the length of the field = 110m

Width = 80m

The length of the diagonal is expressed using the pythagoras theorem;

d² = l² + w²

d² = 110² + 80²

d² = 12100 + 6400

d² = 18500

d = √18500

d = 136.01

Hence the players have to run 136.01m diagonally
