AREA=SIDE X SIDE
THEREFORE FIND SQUARE ROOT OF 22,500
THEN USE PYTHAGORAS THEOREM Z^2=X^2+Y^2
FIND SQUARE ROOT OF YOUR VALUE.THAT GIVES THE ANSWER TO Z= DIAGONAL
A square field has an area of 22,500 square feet. To the nearest foot, what is the diagonal distance across the field?
F. 150 feet
G. 178 feet
H. 191 feet
I. 212 feet
J. 260 feet

sqrt(22,500) = 150
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 150^2 + 150^2
c^2 = 22,500 + 22,500
c^2 = 45,000
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(45,000)
c = 212
I. 212 feet
c^2 = 150^2 + 150^2
c^2 = 22,500 + 22,500
c^2 = 45,000
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(45,000)
c = 212
I. 212 feet
