Question

A soccer field is a rectangle 90 meters wide and 120 meters long. The coach asks players to run from one corner to the corner diagonally across. What is this distance?

A. 22,500 meters


B. 150 meters


C. 100 meters


D. 79.3 meters

Answer 1

It would be B. 150 meters. You must use Pythagoras to answer the question.
The formula for Pythagoras is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
And now you must substitute 90 and 120 into that formula. 90^2 + 120^2 is 22,500. And to just get c, We must now square root 22,500 which is 150 meters.
Hope this helps
