Question

A rectangular football field is 6464 meters wide and 100100 meters long. A player runs from one corner of the field in a diagonal line to the opposite corner. How far did the player run? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

Answer 1

Answer:

100,308m

Step-by-step explanation:

Running corner to corner in a rectangle would create a right triangle.

The player's path would be the hypotenuse of the triangle, which can be found using pythagorean theorem, a²+b²=c².

6464²+100100²=c²

41,738,296 + 10,020,101,000 = c²

10,061,748,296 = c²

c=√10,061,748,296

c=100,308m
