Question

A park is in the shape of a rectangle 300 feet long 50 feet wide Amaya is standing at one corner of the park at point x he then walks in a straight line to the opposite corner at point y how far does he walk rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

`304.1\ \text{feet}`

Explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangle are 300 feet long 50 feet wide

The length between
`x` and
`y` will be the length of the diagonal of the rectangle.

Length of the diagonals can be found using the Pythagoras theorem

`√(300^2+50^2)=304.138\approx 304.1\ \text{feet}`

The distance walked from
`x` to
`y` is
`304.1\ \text{feet}`.
