Question

A playground is 75 yards by 75 grounds. Calvin walked across the playground from one corner to the opposite coner. How far did he get

Answer 1

d = 75√2 yds

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the diagonal of the playground:

(75 yd)^2 + (75 yd)^2 = d^2, or

d^2 = 2(75 yd)^2

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

d = 75√2 yds
