Elise walks diagonally from one corner of a square plaza to another. Each side of the plaza is 505050 meters.
What is the diagonal distance across the plaza?
Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a meter.
Using Pythagoras' theorem, we can find the diagonal distance across the plaza (d) as follows:
d² = 50² + 50²
d² = 5000
d ≈ 70.7 meters (rounded to the nearest tenth)
Therefore, Elise walked approximately 70.7 meters diagonally across the plaza.
