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.
