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.
Given that the side length \( s = 4 \) units, the diagonal is calculated as:
\[ d = 4 \sqrt{2} \]
Now, we can approximate \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414 \):
\[ d \approx 4 \times 1.414 \approx 5.656 \]
Thus, the diagonal is approximately 5.656 units.
Now, looking at the options provided:
- It is between 4 and 5, but closer to 4 units.
- It is between 5 and 6, but closer to 5 units.
- It is between 4 and 5, but closer to 5 units.
- It is between 5 and 6, but closer to 6 units.
Since 5.656 is between 5 and 6, but closer to 6, the best description of the diagonal is:
It is between 5 and 6, but closer to 6 units.
