Answer:
The diagonal is 25[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed with the sides of 25 and 50. Using the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a and b are the sides and c is the hypotenuse.
25^2 + 50 ^2 = c^2
625+2500 = c^2
3125 = c^2
Taling the square root of each side,
25[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] = c
The diagonal is 25[tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex] meters.
