Question

A rectangular field measures 227 by 56 yards. How far is it to walk from one corner of the field to the opposite corner? How far is it to the closest tenth of a yard? Answer: The distance is approximately ____ yards.

Answer 1

Answer:

233.8 Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Length of a rectangular field, l = 227 yards

Breadth of a rectangular field, l = 56 yards

Let x is the distance from one corner of the field to the opposite corner. It can be calculated using Pythagoras theorem,

$x=\sqrt{l^2+b^2} \\\\x=\sqrt{(227)^2+(56)^2} \\\\x=233.8\ \text{Yards}$

So, the distance from one corner of the field to the opposite corner is 233.8 Yards.
