Question

A soccer field is a rectangle 160 meters wide and 120 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner to the corner diagonally across the field. Use Pythagorean Theorem to determine how far the players run?

Answer 1

Answer:

200 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

a² + b² = c²

c² = 120² + 160²

c² = 14,400 + 25,600

c² = 40,000

√(c²) = √(40,000)

c = 200

Answer: 200 meters
