Jacob and ali want to run from one corner of a football field to the opposite corner. the rectangular football field is 50 yards wide and 120 yards long. jacob runs around the perimeter of the field, while ali runs in a straight line through the middle of the field. how many more yards does jacob run than ali?

Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.

Step-by-step explanation:

Football field is in the shape of a rectangle having dimensions 120 yards × 50 yards

Since Jacob runs around the perimeter of the field from one corner to other corner, therefore, distance run by Jacob =

Distance run by Jacob = 50 + 120 = 170 yards

Ali runs through the middle of the field diagonally on a straight line.

Therefore, distance covered by Ali =

=

=

=

= 130 yards

Now difference between the distance covered by Jacob and Ali

= 170 - 130

= 40 yards

Therefore, Jacob ran 40 yards more than Ali.

it could 14.28 but if its not that one then it has to be the 17 one. hope this ! : )
