Step-by-step explanation:

A football field is a rectangle, so a diagonal line creates 2 right triangles. The formula for the length of the sides of a right triangle is  

a

2

+

b

=

c

For this problem, we know  

a

and  

b

, so we just have to find  

c

.

=

c

=

12500

The length of the diagonal is  

√
