To find the length of each diagonal of a square, divide the sum of the diagonal lengths by 2. Since a square has two diagonals of equal length, this division will give you the length of each diagonal.
Since there are only two diagonals which are of equal length, the length of each is half the sum.
If you are given the area of the square, then the length of each side is the square root of the area. If you are given the length of the diagonal of a square, then the lenght of each side is equal to the length of the diagonal divided by the square root of 2. l=sqrt(a) l=d/[sqrt(2)] l=length of side, d=diagonal, a=area, sqrt means square root
The square has a diagonal measurement of: 1.13 km
The question is to vague/general. Measure it? Find the positive square root of the area? Use the diagonal for trigonometry (45-45-90)?
You square the width and subtract it from the diagonal squared. Then find the square root of this number, this number is now the length.
To find the diagonal, use the Pythagorean theorem by drawing a diagonal through the square. You then have two sides that should equal the hypotenuse ( or diagonal). The equation should look like 8^2 + 8^2 = h^2. or 64+64= h. 128=h take the square root of 128 and you have your answer. the answer should be around 11.
A square has 4 sides of equal length (say x). The diagonal length = x * (2)^0.5 = 1.414x, from Pythagorus's theorem. So, dividing the diagonal length by the square root of 2 will be the answer.
diagonal="c" side=9="9"="9" sincec^2=b^2+a^2, diagonal=square root of(2(9^2))=
Use Pythagoras. The diagonal, and two sides of the square form a right angled triangle. So if each side of the square is x cm long, the diagonal is x*sqrt(2) cm long.
Divide the length of the diagonal of a square by 1.4142 (which is the square root of 2) to find the length of a side. Similarly, to find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the length of a side by 1.4142.
If you are given the area of the square, then the length of each side is the square root of the area. If you are given the length of the diagonal of a square, then the lenght of each side is equal to the length of the diagonal divided by the square root of 2. l=sqrt(a) l=d/[sqrt(2)] l=length of side, d=diagonal, a=area, sqrt means square root
Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the diagonal in the square
As a square has right angles, the diagonal forms a right triangle with two of the sides of the square. Therefore use Pythagoras: diagonal² = side² + side² → diagonal² = 2side² → diagonal = side × √2 Therefore to find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the side length of a square by the square root of 2.
Each side is sqrt 72 ie 8.49 in
The square has a diagonal measurement of: 1.13 km
You can use trigonometry to find the solution. A diagonal divides a square into two triangles, known as "45-45-90" triangles (because of the measures of each angle). According to a law of the same name, the hypotenuse (side opposite of the 90o angle) has a length equal to the length of a leg (side opposite of a 45o angle) times the square root of two. So, since the hypotenuse is a diagonal, you will find that the length of each side of the square is 6 divided by the square root of 2. Find the square of this, and you have the total area: 18 square yards.

The diagonal of a rectangle is the third and longest side of a triangle with sides the same as those of the rectangle, so its length is the square root of the sum of the squares of the lengths of the sides of the triangle, (Pythoagoras' Theorem) which are also the sides of the rectangle. If the rectangle is 3 inches by 4 inches, then the diagonal is the square root of 3 squared (= 9) and 4 squared (= 16) so the diagonal is the square root of 16 + 9 = 25, giving it the length of 5 inches.
