Step-by-step explanation:
Given Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field measuring 40 yards each sides .
∴The distance covered by Will was =[tex]\sqrt{40^{2}+40^2 }[/tex] yards
= [tex]40\sqrt{2}[/tex] yards=56.56 yards
Again James ran diagonal distance across a rectangle field with a length of 25 yards and a width of 35 yards.
So,distance covered by James was =[tex]\sqrt{25^2+35^2}[/tex] yards
=[tex]5\sqrt{74}[/tex] yards = 43.01 yards
∴Will ran longer distance.
∴Will ran 13.55 yards more than James.
