Question

A soccer field is a rectangle 90 meters wide and 120 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner to the other corner diagonally across the field.How far do the players run?

Answer 1

Take the width of the field (90 meters) and square it. Then take the length of the field (120 meters) and square it. The you add the two squares together and then find the square root of your answer. So basically 90^2 + 120^2 = 22500. then find the square root of 22500 which is 150 meters. 150 meters is your answer.
