Quincy ran from one corner of a field to the opposite corner, a distance of 100 yards. Then he ran along its length, a distance of 80 yards. How wide is the field?

use Pythagorean theorem to sole this. The problem gives you the hypotenuse and one side, so you need to find the other side.

Step-by-step explanation: Use

a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

80^2 + b^2 = 100^2

6400 +b^2 = 10000

-6400. -6400

b^2 = 3600

Square root each side of the equation

b = 60
