Question

One field that a farmer uses for his crops is 115 yards long and 50 yards wide. How long is the diagonal of the field to the nearest tenth of a yard?

A. 125.4 yards
B. 165 yards
C. 290.4 yards
D. 65 yards

Answer 1

A) 125.4 yards

Explanation:

the diagonal would represent the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs equal to 115 and 50

115² + 50² = c²

c² =
`√(15725)` which is approx 125.4
