Question

If the diagonal path is 750 feet long and the width of the park is 450 feet, what is the length, in feet, of the park?

Answer 1

600 ft

Explanation:

Using the pythagorean theorem with the width being 450 and the diagonal being 750, the length is then 600 ft.

Answer 2

This problem can be looked at like a right triangle, where the hypotenuse is 750 and one leg is 450. Thus 450^2 + the length of the park^2 = 750 ^2.

202500 + the length of the park^2 = 562500

the length of the park^2 = 360000

the length of the park = 600
