Answer 1

Tony walks 116.7 m diagonally across the lot.

Solution:

Length of the rectangle = 80 m

Width of the rectangle = 85 m

To find the diagonal of the rectangle:

Diagonal of the rectangle = $\sqrt{l^2+w^2}$

                                           $=\sqrt{80^2+85^2}$

                                           $=\sqrt{6400+7225}$

                                           $=\sqrt{13625}$

                                           $=5\sqrt{545}$

Diagonal of the rectangle = 116.7 m

Hence Tony walks 116.7 m diagonally across the lot.
