Please answer this, I’m a bit confused...

Will ran the diagonal distance across a square field measuring 40 yards on each side. James ran the diagonal distance across a rectangular field with a length of 25 yards and a width of 35 yards. Who ran a longer distance, and how much longer did he run?

Answer: The distance across a rectangular field is longer distance.

So, Perimeter of rectangle would be 120 yards.

Diagonal of square would be 56.56 yards.
