Explanation Formula used: Pythagorean Theorem : In a right angle triangle, the length of the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two legs. That is, ( Hypotenuse ) 2 = ( leg ) 2 + ( other leg ) 2 . Calculation: From the given, it is also observed that the length of the diagonal is the hypotenuse side of the right triangle. Since the city block is in square shape with side length of 100 yards, the length of the two legs of the right triangle are 100 yards and 100 yards, respectively. Compute the length of the diagonal as follows. By Pythagorean Theorem, ( Hypotenuse ) 2 = ( leg ) 2 + ( other leg ) 2 Hypotenuse = ( leg ) 2 + ( other leg ) 2 (1) Substitute leg = 100 and other leg = 100 in equation (1)
