joey and helen are standing in opposite corners of a rectangular field. If the field has dimensions 120 ft by 209 ft, how far apart are they?

Respuesta :

Answer:

They're 241 feet apart

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out the distance from opposite corners of a rectangle, apply the Pythagoras Theorem

we have

[tex]c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}[/tex]

where

c is the distance from opposite corners of a rectangle

a and b are the length and the width of rectangle

substitute the given values

[tex]c^{2}=120^{2}+209^{2}[/tex]

[tex]c^{2}=58,081[/tex]

[tex]c=241\ ft[/tex]

therefore

They're 241 feet apart
