Question

Portage Park is a perfect square. The length of each side of the park is 200 feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

The mathematical statement that could be used to find the distance is the Pythagorean Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The triangle ABC is a right triangle

The mathematical statement that could be used to find the distance is the Pythagorean Theorem

so

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2$

substitute the given values

$AC^2=200^2+200^2$

$AC^2=40,000+40,000$

$AC^2=80,000$

$AC=\sqrt{80,000}\ ft$

simplify

$AC=200\sqrt{2}\ ft$

Answer 2

Answer:

ac=200
