s = 60/√2 = 30√2 m
well, a square has 4 sides, so ...
The area of a square vegetable guarden is 60m^2.
a) What is the exact length of each side of the garden?
b) If a fence of a chicken wire is to be constructed around the vegetable garden, what length (to the nearest meter) of chicken wire is needed.
It needs to be answered in surds.

let the length of each side be s
s^2 = 60
s = √60 = √4*√15 = 2√15
each side is 2√15 m
perimeter = 8√15 m
s^2 = 60
s = √60 = √4*√15 = 2√15
each side is 2√15 m
perimeter = 8√15 m
My bad. I read "diagonal" not "area"
