Answer:

112 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

Pythagoras theorem states that, in a right angle triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of the two other sides.

Mathematically, it is expressed as

a² = b²+c²................. Equation 1

Where a = Length of the diagonal, b and c = lenght of the two other sides

From the question,

Given: b = 50 yards, c = 100  yards.

Substitute these values into equation 1

a² = 50²+100²

a² = 2500+10000

a² = 12500

a = √12500

a = 111.8

a = 112 yards
