The diagonal of a square is equal to the side length multiplied by √2. Therefore, the length of the diagonal can be found by multiplying 700 feet (the side length) by √2.
Diagonal length = 700 ft * √2
Using the given approximation for √2, we have:
Diagonal length ≈ 700 ft * 1.4
Diagonal length ≈ 980 ft
Therefore, the approximate length in feet from one corner to an opposite corner of the square park is 980 feet.
The diagonal of a square equals √2 times the side length. Using 1.4 for the square root of 2, What is the approximate length in feets from one corner to an opposite corner of a square park that is 700 feet on a side?
