Use the image to answer the question.
A horizontal rectangle is shown sectioned by a large shaded rectangle in the center bordered by two small vertical rectangles on either end. There are nine evenly-spaced vertical lines descending from the top of the shaded rectangle, forming ten equal spaces. The center line is labeled 50, with the other lines on both sides reading 40, 30, 20 and 10.
A football player runs the ball from the 20-yard line on one side of the field to the 20-yard line on the other side. How many yards did the player run?
(1 point)
yards
bot that is wrong the football field doesn't end at the 20-yard line it ends after the 10-yard line
The player ran across the entire field, so the distance they ran is equal to the length of the field.
From the diagram, we can see that the distance between the 20-yard line and the 50-yard line is the same as the distance between the 50-yard line and the other end of the field (the 20-yard line on the other side).
Since the distance between the 20-yard line and the 50-yard line is 30 yards, the player ran a total of 30 yards.
