Question

A rectangular field is 50 yards wide and 100 yards long. Patrick walks diagonally across the field. How far does he walk

Answer 1

Answer:

Patrick walk approximately 112 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A rectangular field is 50 yards wide and 100 yards long.

Patrick walks diagonally across the field.

Now, to find the distance he walk.

Length of the field = 100 yards.

Width of the field = 50 yards.

Now, to get the diagonal distance we put formula:

$Diagonal = \sqrt{length^2+width^2}$

$Diagonal = \sqrt{100^2+50^2}$

$Diagonal = \sqrt{10000+2500}$

$Diagonal = \sqrt{12500}$

$Diagonal = 111.80$

Therefore, Patrick walk approximately 112 yards.
