Question

3. Jalen is a lifeguard at a public swimming pool and is planning to string

Answer 1

Answer:

$Flag = 55.90m$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Length = 50m$

$Width = 25m$

Required

Determine the length of the flag

Because the flag crosses through opposite diagonals of the pool. Its length is the length of the diagonal of the pool.

This is calculated using Pythagoras theorem.

$Flag^2 = Length^2 + Width^2$

Substitute values for Length and Width

$Flag^2 = 50^2 + 25^2$

$Flag^2 = 2500 + 625$

$Flag^2 = 3125$

Take positive square root of both sides

$Flag = \sqrt{3125$

$Flag = 55.90m$

Hence, the length of the flag is approximately 55.90m
