Question

Sports American football fields measure 100 yards long between the end zones, and are 53 1_3yards wide. Is the length of the diagonal across this field more or less than 120 yards? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

$113 \frac{1}{3}$ Yards

Step-by-step explanation:

solving using  Pythagorean Theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

$100^2+53.33^2 = c^2$

$10,000+2844.0889=c^2$

$12844.1=c^2$ square root

= $113 \frac{1}{3}$

Base on the explanation above we can tell that the length of the diagonal across this field is less than 120 yards.
