USe the pythagorean theorem. You have a right triangle with one leg that is 37 and the other leg is 29. Teh path is the hypotenuse. 37^2 + 29^2 = x^2
1369 + 841 = x^2
2210 = x^2
take the sqrt of 2210 = ~47.01 m

It's Pythagoras Theorem. its (37 x 37) + (29 x 29). which is 2210. Now just find the square root of that ( which i cant do in my head at the moment) and that will give you the length of the diagonal path across the field.
Tho personally I'll go around the field in case there's a bull in it.

You need to use the Pythagorean theorem, which is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2. You would plug in the number as follows: 37^2 + 29^2 = c^2. Therefore, c=53.75872022
