The diagonal of a square equals 2–√ times the side length. Using 1.4 for the square root of 2, what is the approximate length in feet from one corner to an opposite corner of a square park that is 700 feet on a side?(1 point)

The diagonal of a square is equal to the side length times √2. Given that the square root of 2 is approximately 1.4, we can calculate the approximate length of the diagonal.

Diagonal = Side length x √2
Diagonal = 700 feet x 1.4
Diagonal = 980 feet

Therefore, the approximate length from one corner to an opposite corner of the square park is 980 feet.
