Question 1052749: What is the answer to "the lawn in front of Kermit Middle School is in the shape of a rectangle 30 yd long and 16 yd wide. How much shorter is your walk if you walk diagonally across the lawn rather then along two sides of it?"

two sides=46 yds
30^2+16^2=c^2
900+256=1156
sqrt 1156=34 yds
46-34=12 yds shorter
