Answer:

44√2 yards ≈ 62.23 yards

Explanation:

You can uses the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal. It is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with side lengths of 44 yards. Then the diagonal measure is ...

d = √(44² +44²) = √(44² × 2) = 44√2

The length of the diagonal of the plot is 44√2 yards, about 62.23 yards.
