Question

A football field is 100 yards. the width is 160 feet. What is the hypotenuse

Answer 1

340 feet

Explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of the hypotenuse.

-> See attached for a visual I drew

First, we need to convert 100 yards into feet.

-> 100 * 3 = 300 feet

300² + 160² = c²

90,000 + 25,600 = c²

115,600 = c²

`√(115,600)` = c

340 = c

c = 340 feet
