Please help! It is urgent I only have a little bit until it is due plsss I need help!!

Answer 1

Answer: 116.6m

Explanation:

This is the application of Pythagoras theorem , which states that :

the square of the hypotenuse = sum of the squares of other sides of the right angle triangle.

From the question :

Hypotenuse = short cut , let it be x

Applying the formula , we have :

`x^(2) = 100^(2)+60^(2)`

`x^(2) = 10000 + 3600`

`x^(2) = 13600`

`x = √(13600)`

`x= 116.6190379`

`x = 116.6`

Therefore : the shortcut = 116.6m
