A square field is 300m × 300m. Draw a plan of the field. Find the distance of the centre of the field from one of its corners.
1 answer:
Answer:
Distance to Centre = 212.13 m
Explanation:
Sides of a square are always the same. To obtain the distance to the centre of the pitch from any of the four corners :
The distance to the centre will be the the diagonal ÷ 2
Diagonal of a square : √2 * a
Where a = side length
Diagonal = √2 * 300
Diagonal = 424.26
Midpoint = diagonal /2
Midpoint or centre = 424.26 / 2
= 212.13 m
