exercise: theorem of pythagoras rectangle problem 1
The length of a rectangle field is 48 meters, the width is 36 meters.
What is the distance from the corner A to the corner C?
answer: theorem of pythagoras rectangle problem 1
1. step: given/wanted
leg 1: 48 m
leg 2: 36 m
wanted: hypotenuse ?
2. step: calculate
hypotenuse = √(leg 1² + leg 2²)
hypotenuse = √(48² + 36²)
hypotenuse = 60 m
3. step: answer
The distance from the corner A to the corner C is 60 m.
