A park is in the shape of a rectangle 300 feet long 50 feet wide Amaya is standing at one corner of the park at point x he then walks in a straight line to the opposite corner at point y how far does he walk rounded to the nearest tenth

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]304.1\ \text{feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the rectangle are 300 feet long 50 feet wide

The length between [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] will be the length of the diagonal of the rectangle.

Length of the diagonals can be found using the Pythagoras theorem

[tex]\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=304.138\approx 304.1\ \text{feet}[/tex]

The distance walked from [tex]x[/tex] to [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]304.1\ \text{feet}[/tex].
