Answer:

47 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Length of dry leg 1 (L1) = 40 m

Length of dry leg 2 (L2) = 25 m

Length of swimming course (L) =..?

The length of the swimming course can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as shown below:

L² = L1² + L2²

L² = 40² + 25²

L² = 1600 + 625

L² = 2225

Take the square root of both side.

L = √2225

L = 47.1 ≈ 47 m

Therefore, the length of the swimming course is approximately 47 m.
