Tanya runs diagonally across a rectangular field that has a length of 40 yards and a width of 30 yards. How far did Tanya run?

Tanya run 50 yards across the diagonal of the rectangular field.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Length of the rectangular field = 40 yards width of the rectangular field = 30 yards

Step 2:

Measure of the diagonal = √ (length^2 + width^2)

Step 3:

Diagonal = √ (40^2 + 30^2)

= √ (1600 + 900)

= √2500

= ±50

Step 4:

Since distance cannot be negative, The measure of diagonal = 50 yards.

∴ Tanya runs diagonally across a rectangular field is 50 yards.
