Answer:

314 m

Explanation:

the diagonal is the hypotenuse of the two triangles that form the rectangle (see figure) we solve with Pythagoras

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides

a² = b²+ c²

a² = 250² + 190²

a² = 62500 + 36100

a² = 98600

a = √98600

a = 314 m
