Question 963850

A soccer field is a rectangle 

given:
{{{W=90m}}}  and {{{L=120m}}}

if players have to run from one corner to the corner diagonally across the field, then diagonal of a soccer field is a hypotenuse of a triangle whose legs are {{{W=90m}}}  and {{{L=120m}}}; so, use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of diagonal {{{d}}}

{{{d^2=(90m)^2+(120m)^2}}}

{{{d^2=8100m^2+14400m^2}}}

{{{d^2=22500m^2}}}

{{{d=sqrt(22500m^2)}}}

{{{d=150m}}}

the players run {{{150m}}}
