A jogger runs along two sides of an open rectangular lot. If the first side of the lot is 200 ft long and the diagonal distance across the lot is 400 ft, what is the measure of the angle formed by the 200-ft and 400-ft dimensions? To the nearest foot, how much farther does the jogger run by travelling the two sides of the block rather than the diagonal distance across the lot?
