Question

A soccer field is a rectangle 48 meters wide and 55 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner to the corner diagonally across. What is this distance?

Answer 1

Distance = 73 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rectangle = 48 m

The width of a rectangle = 55 m

We need to find the diagonal distance. We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find it.

`d^2=48^2+55^2\\\\d=√(5329)\\\\d=73\ m`

So, the required distance is equal to 73 m.
