Answer 1

Answer: 116.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the application of Pythagoras theorem , which states that :

the square of the hypotenuse = sum of the squares of other sides of the right angle triangle.

From the question :

Hypotenuse = short cut , let it be x

Applying the formula , we have :

$x^{2} = 100^{2}+60^{2}$

$x^{2} = 10000 + 3600$

$x^{2} = 13600$

$x = \sqrt{13600}$

$x= 116.6190379$

$x = 116.6$

Therefore : the shortcut = 116.6m
