Answer:the short cut is 55 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
The park around which the jogger jogged is rectangular in shape. The Short cut that the jogger jogged through to her car is the diagonal of the rectangle. The diagonal becomes the hypotenuse of the rectangle. The sides of the field becomes the opposite side and adjacent side of the triangle. To determine the length of the diagonal, we would apply Pythagoras theorem. It is expressed as
Hypotenuse^2 = opposite side^2 + adjacent side^2
Hypotenuse^2 = 44^2 + 33^2 = 3025
Hypotenuse = √3025
Hypotenuse = 55 meters
