51 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Consider Home at Point A and School at Point C such that

AB = 24 yards due south = Shorter leg

BC = 45 yards east = Longer leg

To Find:

AC = from home to school = ? = Hypotenuse

Solution:

In Right Angle Triangle ABC ,By Pythagoras theorem we have

Substituting the values we get

Therefore Zane walk 51 yards a straight line from home to school .
