Question

A soccer field is 110 yards long and 80 yards wide. What is the longest pass that one player can make to another player on a soccer field?

Answer 1

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

To find the answer, we need to first think of what length in the rectangle can make the longest path, then use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The diagonal in a rectangle (going from one corner to another) is the longest distance.

If we were to split that rectangle by its diagonal, we would get a triangle. By the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of that diagonal (the hypotenuse of the triangle).

`A^2 + B^2 = C^2\\\\110^2+80^2 = C^2\\\\12100 + 6400 = C^2\\\\18500 = C^2\\\\10√(185) = C = 136.0147 yards` <- This is the answer (the decimal version or this ^ version).
