Question

A rectangular field is 300m by 400m .What distance is saved by walking


diagonally across the field?


PLEASE ANSWER AS FAST AS POSSIBLE PLEASE!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

200 m

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

(Diagonal)² = (Base)² + (Height)²

=> (Diagonal)² = (300)² + (400)²

=> (Diagonal)² = 90000 + 160000

=> (Diagonal)² = 250000

=> Diagonal = √250000

=> Diagonal = 500

Hence, distance saved = 700 - 500 = 200 m
