Answer:
The length is 600 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by applying the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The hypotenuse (diagonal path) is 750
750 represents c, 750^2 is 562500
We also know the width (one side of the triangle)
450 can represent a, 450^2 is 202500
202500 + b^2= 562500
We can subtract 202500 on both sides to isolate the b^2
b^2= 360000
Square root both sides of the equation
B= 600
The length is 600 ft
