Question

The dimensions of a gymnastic floor are 40 ft by 40 ft. the performance floor is 1 ft less, or 39 ft, per side.

Answer 1

Answer:

the square root of 3200

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not sure if this is right, because the format of the question wasn't clear, but it sounded like we have to find the diagonal distance of the room from one corner to the opposite. If the sides are 40ft long on both sides, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this:

40^2+40^2=c^2

1600+1600=c^2

3200=c^2

c=sqrt(3200)

or about 56.5
