Question

A rectangular football field is 64 meters wide and 100 meters long. A player runs from one corner of the field in a diagonal line to the opposite corner. How far did the player run? Round to the nearest whole meter. *

Answer 1

Solution given:

length[l]/base[b]=100m

wide [w]/perpendicular [p]=64m

distance of diagonal =hypotenuse [h]=?

By using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

h²=64²+100²

h=√14096

h=118.72

=119m approx

So

the player run 119m
