Ajogger running around a rectangular park takes a shortcut back to her car by running 85 meters from one corner to the opposite corner. if the park is 75 meters long, what is the width?

40 meters is my answer

Step-by-step explanation:

if the diagonal is 85 and the length is 75

take the Pythagorean theorem, sqrt(a^2 + b^2) = C

C is equal to 85 as B would be equal to 75 to find A you would do the reverse. i think

I did:

85*85 = 7225

75^2 = 75*75 = 5625

then i did basic math, 7225 - 5625 = 1600

now what number multiplied by its self equals 1600

40, So

40*40=1600

therefore 40 meters is the answer.
