Question

A rectangular football field is 64 meters wide and 100 meters long. A player runs from one corner of the field in a diagonal line to the opposite corner. How far did the player run? Round to the nearest whole meter. *115 meters
118 meters
119 meters
120 meters

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution given:

length[l]/base[b]=100m

wide [w]/perpendicular [p]=64m

distance of diagonal =hypotenuse [h]=?

By using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

h²=64²+100²

h=√14096

h=118.72

=119m approx

So

the player run 119m.

Answer 2

Answer:

119meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We should use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.

a^2+ b^2=c^2

64^2+100^2=c^2

4096+10000=14096

c^2=14096

c=\sqrt{14096}

14096

And the root of 14096 is 118.726577.

So the Answer is About 119 meters, or 118.726577
