You measure the sides of a pool and find that it is 20 yards wide and 60 yards long.

Approximately, how far would it be diagonally between corners of the pool?

55 yards

63 yards

67 yards

72 yards

63 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the description, you can make a rectangle with the sides 20 yards and 60 yards. You then draw a diagonal line (doesn't matter which one), and you use the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2). Thus, you get 20^2+60^2=60^2, so 400+3600=c^2, then / sqrt{4000}

Which gives the value of 63.24 rounding to 63 yards

It would be 63 diagonally between corners of the pool.
