The length of the diagonal of a square is given by multiplying the side length by the square root of 2. Using 1.4 as the approximation for the square root of 2, we can calculate the length of the diagonal.
Length of diagonal = side length × square root of 2
Length of diagonal = 700 feet × 1.4
Length of diagonal ≈ 980 feet
Therefore, the approximate length from one corner to an opposite corner of the square park is 980 feet.
the diangle of a square equals \sqrt(2) times the side length. Using 1.4 for the square root of 2, what is the approximate length in feet from one corner to an opposite corner of a square park that is 700 feet on a side?
