Algebra.Com's Answer #776379 by ramkikk66(644)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! How did you get 241.3 feet? \n" ); document.write( "The two sides of the field form 2 sides of a right triangle and the distance from one corner to the other is the hypotenuse. I think you have figured that out already. \n" ); document.write( "If you apply the Pythagoras theorem, the hypotenuse = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(rounded off to the nearest 10th of a foot.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Please check the input values and your calculations again. Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( " |
