Question

A soccer player is going to kick a soccer ball from one corner of a field to the opposite corner. If the field is 76 meters long and 57 meters wide, how far will the soccer player have to kick the ball?

Answer 1

The soccer player will have to kick the ball a distance of 95 meters. This is because the distance from one corner of the field to the opposite corner is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with one side being 76 meters and the other side being 57 meters. Using the Pythagorean theorem (c^2 = a^2 + b^2), we can calculate that the hypotenuse (c) is 95 meters.
