A rectangular football field is 64 meters wide and 100 meters long. A player runs from one corner of the firmed in a diagonal line to the opposite corner. How far did the player run?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The player ran approximately 119119119 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the diagonal line.

The equation for the Pythagorean Theorem is

a^2 + b^2 = c^2a  

2

+b  

2

=c  

2

a, squared, plus, b, squared, equals, c, squared

where aaa and bbb are the lengths of the two legs of the triangle, and ccc is the length of the hypotenuse.

In this case a=64,b=100,a=64,b=100,a, equals, 64, comma, b, equals, 100, comma and c=xc=xc, equals, x.

Hint #33 / 4

\begin{aligned} 64^2+100^2 & =x^2\\ 4096+10000 & = x^2\\ 14096 & = x^2\\ \sqrt{14096} & = x\\ 118.726 & \approx x \end{aligned}

The player ran approximately 119119119 meters.

The player runs 118.726 meters and this can be determined by using the Pythagorean theorem.

Given :

  • A rectangular football field is 64 meters wide and 100 meters long.
  • A player runs from one corner of the firmed in a diagonal line to the opposite corner.

The Pythagorean theorem can be used in order to determine the length of the diagonal. According to the Pythagorean theorem:

[tex]\rm H^2 = B^2 + P^2[/tex]

where H is the hypotenuse, B is the base, and P is the perpendicular.

Now, substitute the value of B and P in the above formula.

[tex]\rm H^2 = 100^2+64^2[/tex]

Simplify the above expression in order to determine the value of H.

[tex]\rm H = \sqrt{100^2+64^2}[/tex]

H = 118.726 m

So, the player runs 118.726 meters.
