Question

A soccer field is a rectangle 48 meters wide and 55 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner to the corner diagonally across. What is this distance?

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance = 73 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The length of a rectangle = 48 m

The width of a rectangle = 55 m

We need to find the diagonal distance. We can use the Pythagoras theorem to find it.

$d^2=48^2+55^2\\\\d=\sqrt{5329}\\\\d=73\ m$

So, the required distance is equal to 73 m.
