Question

A square field is 300m × 300m. Draw a plan of the field. Find the distance of the centre of the field from one of its corners.​

Answer 1

Distance to Centre = 212.13 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Sides of a square are always the same. To obtain the distance to the centre of the pitch from any of the four corners :

The distance to the centre will be the the diagonal ÷ 2

Diagonal of a square : √2 * a

Where a = side length

Diagonal = √2 * 300

Diagonal = 424.26

Midpoint = diagonal /2

Midpoint or centre = 424.26 / 2

= 212.13 m
