To find the distance the person walks from one corner of the park to the opposite corner, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. The diagonal of a square can be found by multiplying the length of one side by √2.
So, the length of the diagonal of the square park is 30 ft * √2 ≈ 42.426 ft.
Rounded to the nearest foot, the person walks approximately 42 ft.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
42 ft
