The diagonal of a square is equal to √2 times the side length.
Given that the side length of the square park is 700 feet, we need to find the length of the diagonal.
Using 1.4 as an approximation for √2, we can calculate the length of the diagonal:
Diagonal length = √2 * side length
= 1.4 * 700
= 980
Therefore, the approximate length in feet from one corner to an opposite corner of the square park is 980 feet.
