Mr. G is trying out for the football team. The coach asks all potential recruits to run the diagonal from one corner of the field to the opposite corner (i.e. run a diagonal) and back again!



Assuming the field is a perfect rectangle that is 300 feet long and 160 feet wide, how much will Mr. G have to run? Round your answer to the nearest foot.

Answer:

340 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Well if it is a perfect rectangle we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. So a=300, b=160, if we square them and add them it'll be 115600, and the square root of that is 340. So the diagonal is 340.

If you need a better explanation on the Pythagorean theorem let me know in the comments.
