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 answer
The diagonal of a square is equal to the side length multiplied by the square root of 2, so the length of the diagonal is 700 * √2 = 700 * 1.4 = 980 feet.
