Question

A soccer player is going to kick a soccer ball from one corner of a field to the opposite corner. If the field is 80 meters long and 60 meters wide, how far will the soccer player have to kick the ball

Answer 1

100 meters

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 2

100 meters

Explanation:

To figure this out, do the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

60^2 + 80^2 = c^2

3600 + 6400 = c^2

10000 = c^2

c = 100
