To find the length of the diagonal of the square, we can use the formula:
\[ \text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{2} \times \text{Side Length} \]
Given that the side length is 650 feet and using \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.4 \), we can calculate the diagonal as follows:
\[ \text{Diagonal} = 1.4 \times 650 \text{ feet} \]
Calculating this:
\[ \text{Diagonal} = 910 \text{ feet} \]
Since the question requires the answer in inches, we need to convert feet to inches. There are 12 inches in a foot, so we calculate:
\[ \text{Diagonal in inches} = 910 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Diagonal in inches} = 10920 \text{ inches} \]
Therefore, the approximate length from one corner to an opposite corner of the square is:
\[ \text{Diagonal} = 910 \text{ feet} \text{ or } 10920 \text{ inches} \]
Since none of the provided options match the final answer directly, it seems the question may have been interpreted incorrectly in terms of its dimensional requirements (feet vs. inches), or the answer options provided might not relate to the calculated diagonal for a square of side length 650 feet.
However, verify the original question options again to confirm they are in feet or inches. If required solely in feet, the last significant answer remains \( 910 \text{ feet} \).
