You ride your bicycle along the outer edge of the park. Then you take a shortcut back to where you started. Find the length of the shortcut. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers:

100m

60m

116.6m

160m

Answer 1

116.6

Explanation:

Answer 2

116.6

Explanation:

To solve this equation you would need to use the pythagorean theorem. The pythagorean theorem is
`a^(2) +b^(2)= c^(2)` where a and b are lengths of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse (the longest side of a triangle) in this case, the short cut.

First, you would substitute values into the equation:

`100^(2)+60^(2)= c^(2)`

Then, you would multiply out the squares:

`10,000+3600=c^2`

Add the numbers together:

`13600=c^2`

Take the square root of both sides to get the answer:

`c=116.619037897`

Then round to the nearest tenth to get the answer: c=116.6
