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

Respuesta :

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
