➷ Use Pythagoras' theorem

24^2 + 8^2 = c^2

c^2 = 640

Square root it:

c = 25.298

It would be 25 miles

Answer 2

Answer:

solution given:

length [l]=24miles

breadth [b]=8miles

diagonal =?

we have

In right angled triangle BCD

perpendicular [p]=8miles

base[b]=8miles

hypotenuse[h]=?

by using Pythagoras law

h²=p²+b²

h²=24²+8²

h=√(640)=25.298

since hypotenuse=diagonal=25.3miles

25.3miles is a pedestrian route that runs diagonally across the park
