How is the length of a diagonal of a square found?
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.
How do you work out diagonal of a square?
It is the longest distance between two opposite corners of the square and it is possible to use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the diagonal
How do you find the area of a square given only the length of its diagonal?
Given the length of the diagonal of the square ... call it 'D units'. The area of the square is (1/2 D2) (same units)2.
What is the perimeter of a square with diagonal 12 centimeters?
The perimeter of a square with a diagonal of 12 centimeters is: 33.9 centimeters.In future, to find out the perimeter of a square when you only know it's diagonal, use Pythagoras or times the diagonal by 2.828427125.This number is irrational, and is like a pi for the diagonals of squares.I call it Tau.It is the relationship between the diagonal of all squares and there perimeter.
