I can not imagine why you would need a "special" version. The plain vanilla version says that if the side of the square is length s then the length of a diagonal d is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with equal sides s.
d^2 = s^2 + s^2 = 2 s^2
so
d = s * sqrt (2)
or d is approximately 1.414 .... * s
d^2 = s^2 + s^2 = 2 s^2
so
d = s * sqrt (2)
or d is approximately 1.414 .... * s
