The diagonal of a square equals squared to times the side length using 1.4 for the square root of 2 what is the approximately length in feet from one corner to the opposite corner of a square park that is 700 ft on a side

Answer 1

To find the length of the diagonal of a square, you can use the formula:

$$d=s\sqrt{2}$$

where $d$ is the diagonal and $s$ is the side length of the square.

In this case, the side length of the square park is 700 feet, and you are using $\sqrt{2}\approx 1.4$.

Now, substitute $s=700$ feet into the formula:

$$d=700\times 1.4$$

Now, calculate it:

$$d=980\text{ feet}$$

Thus, the approximate length from one corner to the opposite corner of the square park is 980 feet.
