Answer:

40 yd

Explanation:

Let,

The missing length be = x yd

As we know According to Pythagoras Theorem,


{50yd}^(2) = {30yd}^(2) + {x \: yd}^(2)


= > 2500 = 900 + {x}^(2)


= > {x}^(2) = 2500 - 900


= > {x}^(2) = 1600


= > x = √(1600) = √(40 * 40)

=> x = 40

Hence,

Missing length will be 40 yd (Ans)
