    Given:

    Length = 100 yards

    Width = 53 yards

    Rectangle shape

    Jos ran the diagonal length. So, he formed a right triangle. The length Jos ran would be they hypotenuse.

    a² + b² = c² ² where c = hypotenuse

    100² + 53² = c²

    10,000 + 2809 = c²

    12809 = c²

    c = √12809

    c = 113.18 yards.
