Answer 1

Answer:

The diagonal distance across the plaza is 7141.8 meter.             Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Elise walks diagonally from one corner of a square plaza to another. Each side of the plaza is 5050 meters.

To find : What is the diagonal distance across the plaza?

Solution :

We have given the side of a square a=5050 m

The length of the diagonal is multiply the length of square with square root 2.

$D=\sqrt{2} (a)$

Substitute the value of a in the diagonal formula,

$D=\sqrt{2} (5050)$  

$D=1.414\times 5050$

$D=7141.77$

Nearest tenth = 7141.8 m

Therefore, The diagonal distance across the plaza is 7141.8 meter.
