A construction worker plans to build a diagonal walking path through a rectangular park.
If the dimensions of the park are 10 yards × 14 yards, what will the length of the path be?
a. Draw a right triangle to represent this situation. Label the lengths of the known sides.
Label the length of the unknown side x.
b. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the missing side. Be sure to
indicate which root represents the answer and write the answer in simplest radical
form.

Use a calculator to change the answer to decimal form. Round the answer to the 
nearest tenth. Using this decimal number, write a sentence to explain the meaning of 
the answer in this situation.

a. Draw a right triangle where one leg is 10 and the other is 14.
Label the hypothenuse(the diagonal) x becuz it's unknown

oh okay

nikato · Answer

And pythagoreom theorem is
(Leg1)^2 + (leg2)^2 = (hypothenuse)^2
Plug in your numbers
(10)^2 + (14)^2 =x^2
