To find the length of the diagonal of a square garden, we can use the formula d = sā2, where d is the diagonal and s is the side length of the square.
Given that the area of the square garden is 400 m^2, we can find the side length by taking the square root of the area.
ā400 = 20
Therefore, the side length of the square is 20 meters.
Substituting this value into the formula for the diagonal, we get:
d = 20ā2 ā 28.28 m
Therefore, the correct answer is a. 28.28 m.
the area of a square garden is 400 m^2. how long is the diagonal? round to the nearest hundredths place.
