1.	. Arectangularfield is 30 m by 40 m. What distanceis saved by walking diagonally across the field?
Answer» To find the length of the diagonal you can use the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2 So: 30^2+40^2=c^2900+1600=c^22500=c^250 = c, the length of the diagonal walk It 50m to walk diagonally, and 70 to walk width by length. so you save 20 feet.

Answer»

To find the length of the diagonal you can use the pythagorean theorem: a^2+b^2=c^2

So:

30^2+40^2=c^2900+1600=c^22500=c^250 = c, the length of the diagonal walk

It 50m to walk diagonally, and 70 to walk width by length. so you save 20 feet.
