Use the Pythagorean Theorem and the square root property to solve the following problem. Express your answer in simplified radical form. Then find a decimal approximation to the nearest tenth. A rectangular park is miles long and miles wide. How long is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park?
In simplified radical form, the pedestrian route is
nothing miles long.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the pedestrian route is
nothing miles long.
