Answer:
134.16\ yd

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the exercise, we know that the soccer field has the shape of a rectangle.

By definition, the diagonal of rectangle can be calculated with the Pythagorean Theorem:


d^2=l^2+w^2\\\\d=√(l^2+w^2)

In this case, the hypotenuse is the diagonal "d", "l" is the length and "w" is the width.

We can identify that:


l=120\ yd\\w=60\ yd

Then, substituting values, we get:


d=√((120\ yd)^2+(60\ yd)^2)\\\\d=134.16\ yd
