Another word problem. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

A boxing ring is in the shape of a square, 20 ft on each side. How far apart are the fighters when they are in the opposite corners of the ring? Thanks!!

Yes. You've been posting quite a few simple exercises with no work shown, exactly as the "Read before posting" message directed you not to do.

This is a simple Pythagorean-Theorem exercise. Where are you stuck in plugging into the formula?

Please reply showing all of the steps and reasoning you have tried thus far.

Thank you.
