Question

A trampoline park has a trampoline that is 8 yards wide and 12 yards long. Approximate the distance (in yards) between opposite corners of the trampoline to the

nearest tenth

Answer 1

~14.4

Explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse (corner to corner) of the line between the corners of the rectangle.

A^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 12^2 = 208
√208 = 14.42
