    The players run 150m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If we think of the diagonal that goes from one corner to the other in a rectangle, this could be divided into 2 right triangles

    To calculate one side of a right triangle from the other 2 sides we have to use Pythagoras

    h = hypotenuse

    a = leg 1 = 90m

    b = leg 2 = 120m

    h² = a² + b²

    we replace the known values

    h² = (90m) ² + (120m) ²

    h² = 8100m² + 14400m²

    h² = 22500m²

    h = √ (22500m²)

    h = 150m

    The players run 150m
