Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{54 \: yards}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of the pool is a rectangle.
The diagonal of a rectangle can be found through a formula by using Pythagorean theorem.
[tex]d^2=l^2 +w^2[/tex]
[tex]d=diagonal\\l=length\\w=width[/tex]
The length is given 50 yards, and width is given 20 yards. Find the diagonal.
[tex]d^2 =50^2 +20^2[/tex]
[tex]d^2 =2500+400[/tex]
[tex]d^2 =2900[/tex]
[tex]d=\sqrt{2900}[/tex]
[tex]d \approx 53.851648[/tex]
[tex]d \approx 54[/tex]
