Answer:

128.06

Step-by-step explanation:

think about the diagonal of the field, breaking up a rectangle into 2 right angled triangles. we are already given the legs of the triangle (80, and 100) and now we have to solve for the hypotenuse (or the diagonal). so use pythagorean theorem :

80^2 + 100^2 = c^2

16400 = c^2

c = 128.06
