Since the playground has a square shape, its perimeter is given by four times its side length, so:


\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter}=4\cdot\text{side} \\ 120=4\cdot\text{side} \\ \text{side}=(120)/(4)=30\text{ yards} \end{gathered}

Then, to find the length of a diagonal, we can use the formula below:


\begin{gathered} \text{diagonal}=\text{side}\cdot\sqrt[]{2} \\ \text{diagonal}=30\sqrt[]{2\text{ yd}} \end{gathered}

Therefore the correct option is the second one.
