Question 443684: A standard city block is a square with each side measuring 100 yards. Find the length of the diagonal of a city block to the nearest tenth of a yard. How do I solve this? Answer by oberobic(2304) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Use the Pythagorean formula.
When you have a square, you have 4 right angles and equal length sides.
The diagonal will produce a right triangle with sides a & b length 100 yards.
Good luck!
