Alice and Amy decide to meet at a party. From a corner of the party hall, Amy spots Alice at the corner of the hall diagonally opposite her. If the party hall is a rectangle that measures 100 feet by 60 feet, what is the shortest distance Amy has to walk to reach Alice? Round your answer to the nearest foot.
The correct answer for the question that is being presented above is this one: "116.62 feet." The shortest distance Amy has to walk to reach Alice is 116.62 feet.
This can be answered using Pythagorean theorme: h2 = a2 + b2 h2 = 100^2 + 60^2 h2 = 10000 + 3600 h = square root (13600) h =116.62 feet
