Answer:
[tex]304.1\ \text{feet}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The dimensions of the rectangle are 300 feet long 50 feet wide
The length between [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]y[/tex] will be the length of the diagonal of the rectangle.
Length of the diagonals can be found using the Pythagoras theorem
[tex]\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=304.138\approx 304.1\ \text{feet}[/tex]
The distance walked from [tex]x[/tex] to [tex]y[/tex] is [tex]304.1\ \text{feet}[/tex].
