Frankie wants to build a path from one corner of his yard to the opposite corner. His yard measures 20 ft. x 32 ft. What will be the length of his path to the nearest tenth of a foot?

The path is the diagonal of a rectangle, so use the Pythagorean theorem: d² = 20² + 32² = 400 + 1,024 = 1,424. Taking the square root gives d ≈ 37.7 feet, to the nearest tenth. The correct choice is 37.7 ft.
