Question

A park is in the shape of a rectangle 300 feet long 50 feet wide Amaya is standing at one corner of the park at point x he then walks in a straight line to the opposite corner at point y how far does he walk rounded to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

$304.1\ \text{feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangle are 300 feet long 50 feet wide

The length between $x$ and $y$ will be the length of the diagonal of the rectangle.

Length of the diagonals can be found using the Pythagoras theorem

$\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=304.138\approx 304.1\ \text{feet}$

The distance walked from $x$ to $y$ is $304.1\ \text{feet}$.
