Answer: 116.6m
Step-by-step explanation:
This is the application of Pythagoras theorem , which states that :
the square of the hypotenuse = sum of the squares of other sides of the right angle triangle.
From the question :
Hypotenuse = short cut , let it be x
Applying the formula , we have :
[tex]x^{2} = 100^{2}+60^{2}[/tex]
[tex]x^{2} = 10000 + 3600[/tex]
[tex]x^{2} = 13600[/tex]
[tex]x = \sqrt{13600}[/tex]
[tex]x= 116.6190379[/tex]
[tex]x = 116.6[/tex]
Therefore : the shortcut = 116.6m
