Answer:
B) 40 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the picture for a reference.
1. We can see the diagonal forms a triangle. Since the angles of a rectangle are right, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for x.
2. The Pythagorean Theorem
a^2 (a squared) + b^2 (b squared) = c^2 (c squared)
a = 30 ft (width)
b = x ft (unknown length)
c = 50 ft (diagonal)
3. Substitute in the values:
30^2 + x^2 = 50^2
900 + x^2 = 2500
x^2 = 1600
x = 40
The length of the field is 40 ft.
