Question

A basketball court is a rectangle. If a court measures 60 feet by 40 feet, what is the length of the diagonal from one corner of the court to the opposite corner?

Answer 1

Pythagorean theorem: a²+b²=c²
Where c = length of the hypotenuse (diagonal of a triangle)

60²+40²=c²
3600+1600=c²
5200=c²
c=√5200
c ≈ 72.11 ft
