You are to run a conduit diagonally across a parking lot that is 200 ft long and 60 ft wide. how much conduit will you need to complete this run? round your answer to tenths.

209ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We let y be the unknown value, which is length of conduit.

200^2 + 60^2=y^2

40000 + 3600=y^2

43600=y^2

Square both side

y= sqrt(43600)

y= 208.8061 ft

y=209 ft

Apply Pythagorean theorem . Let x = length of conduit then x^2 = 200^2 + 60^2 x^2 = 40000 + 3600 x^2 = 43600 x = 208.8 feet
