joey and helen are standing in opposite corners of a rectangular field. if the field has dimensions 120ft by 209 ft, how far apart are they?

Question

Please help me solve this and lead me through the problem , thank you. :)

Answer 1

This calls for the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

120^2 + 209^2 = c^2
14,400 + 43,681 = c^2
58,081 = c^2
241 = c
