Question

You measure the sides of a pool and find that it is 20 yards wide and 60 yards long.

Answer 1

It would be 63 diagonally between corners of the pool.

Answer 2

Answer:

63 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the description, you can make a rectangle with the sides 20 yards and 60 yards.  You then draw a diagonal line (doesn't matter which one), and you use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2).  Thus, you get 20^2+60^2=60^2, so 400+3600=c^2, then \sqrt{4000}

Which gives the value of 63.24 rounding to 63 yards
