Asoccer field is 100 meyers wide and 230 meters long the coach asks players to run from one corner to the other corner diagonally across what is that distance

Hey!

Well a soccer field would be a rectangle and if cut across you will be presented with two right triangles. So since you are presented with right triangles you will need to know at least two sides to determine the third. The formula used for right triangles is...

a² + b² = c²

Now a and b are the "legs" of the triangle meaning the two sides that come together to make a 90° angle. The c in the equation would be the hypotenuse  of the triangle, otherwise the longest side or in this case the diagonal part. Now to find that distance you will have to plug in and solve...

100² + 230² = c²

10000 + 52900 = c²

62900 = c²

about 250.8 meters

Hope this Helped!
