the local college has a swimming pool that measures 50 m longand 25m wide. If you swam from one corner to the other, how far would you swim

Respuesta :

Answer:

55.902m

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
the diagonal line through the swimming pool is the hypotenuse that splits the pool into two equal right triangles

25^2 + 50^2 = c^2
625 + 2500 = c^2
3125 = c^2
root3125 = 55.902
