AREA=SIDE X SIDE

THEREFORE FIND SQUARE ROOT OF 22,500

THEN USE PYTHAGORAS THEOREM Z^2=X^2+Y^2
FIND SQUARE ROOT OF YOUR VALUE.THAT GIVES THE ANSWER TO Z= DIAGONAL

sqrt(22,500) = 150

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 150^2 + 150^2
c^2 = 22,500 + 22,500
c^2 = 45,000
sqrt(c^2) = sqrt(45,000)
c = 212

I. 212 feet
