Take the width of the field (90 meters) and square it. Then take the length of the field (120 meters) and square it. The you add the two squares together and then find the square root of your answer. So basically 90^2 + 120^2 = 22500. then find the square root of 22500 which is 150 meters. 150 meters is your answer.
