In the given problem, apply your knowledge in algebra and basic mathematics specially in solving length of a rectangle and diagonal of rectangle.
Given
125 yards long and the length of one diagonal of the field is 150 yards
Solution
The formula for finding the lenght of the diagonal is similar on the formula of pythagorean theorem.
c² = a² + b², or d² = w² + l²
l = 125 yards
d = 150 yards
d² = w² + l²
150² = w² + 125²
22 500 = w² + 15 625
w² = 22 500 - 15 625
w² = 6 875
w = √6875
w = 25√11 yards
Answer
25√11 yards or 82.92 yards
