To find the diagonal of a square given the side length, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Diagonal} = \text{side length} \times \sqrt{2} \]
Since we are given that the square root of 2 is approximately 1.4, we can rewrite the formula as:
\[ \text{Diagonal} \approx \text{side length} \times 1.4 \]
The side length of the square is given as 650 feet. Thus, we can calculate the diagonal as follows:
\[ \text{Diagonal} \approx 650 \times 1.4 \]
Calculating that gives:
\[ \text{Diagonal} \approx 910 \text{ feet} \]
Now, we need to convert this length from feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we calculate:
\[ 910 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 10920 \text{ inches} \]
Thus, the approximate length in inches from one corner to the opposite corner of the square is:
\[ \boxed{10920} \text{ inches} \]
