Use pyth. Theorem so you get the value of diagonal ac that is root 2 or 1. 41x. Now the distance saved by walking diagonally is 2x-1.41x i.e. 0.59x.

1.41*1.41x=2x

Let abcd be the square with each side of the square = 8m then
ab+bc=2 x 8= 16m
ac= sqrt(16)=4m
solving = 16-4= 12m
Hence, 4/12*100=33.33 approx.

IN a sqare let us assume the sides be 3, 4 units then the diagonal will be 5 by pythagorus theorem ..thus 2 units are saved (7-5) .. total saved %=2/7*100 =28.57 i e 30%

Hey KB3. You are wrong. Solve by PYTHOGORUS theorem,,
From the fig shown above.
Root of AB square + BC square = AC.
