A standard city block in Manhattan is a rectangle measuring 80 m by 270 m. A resident wants to get from one corner of a block to the opposite corner of a block that contains a park. She wonders about the difference between cutting across the diagonal through the park compared to going around the park, along the streets.

How much shorter would her walk be going through the park? Round your answer to the nearest meter.

68.4 meters shorter

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so you want to compare the distance  80 m + 270 m with the diagonal length.

the diagonal length =  root ( 80^2   +  270^2 )

diagonal length = root(6400 +  72900)

diagonal = root(79300) =281.602 m

so.

350 - 281.602 = 68.397 meters  about  68.4 meters  shorter than walking around

i just took the test, the correct answer is .. 31.5 in.

for me what is finding a good play list and going out because i can not lay down and relax so i usually go to a coffee shop. i also use the gum trick and this actually works. another advice is highlighting subjects it really does me remember certain things
