Answer:
The diagonal distance across the plaza is 7141.8 meter. Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Elise walks diagonally from one corner of a square plaza to another. Each side of the plaza is 5050 meters.
To find : What is the diagonal distance across the plaza?
Solution :
We have given the side of a square a=5050 m
The length of the diagonal is multiply the length of square with square root 2.
[tex]D=\sqrt{2} (a)[/tex]
Substitute the value of a in the diagonal formula,
[tex]D=\sqrt{2} (5050)[/tex]
[tex]D=1.414\times 5050[/tex]
[tex]D=7141.77[/tex]
Nearest tenth = 7141.8 m
Therefore, The diagonal distance across the plaza is 7141.8 meter.
