It means that if you take a piece of paper and cut out 8 little squares from it, with each square being
exactly 1 inch on a side, then the amount of paper in these 8 pieces will exactly cover the shape,
no matter what shape the shape is.

What is the diagonal of 11 square inches?
As no shape has been given for the area it is impossible to given the length of the diagonal - the diagonal can be ANY length greater than 0 (assuming you can define what diagonal means for the shape). If you are referring to a square with an area of 11 square inches then: Using Pythagoras: diagonal² = side² + side² = 2 × side² → side² = diagonal² ÷ 2 area = side² = diagonal² ÷ 2 → diagonal² = 2 × area → diagonal = √(2 × area) = √(2 × 11 sq in) = √22 in ≈ 4.69 in If you mean an 11 inch square, ie a square with 11 inches along each side: Use Pythagoras: Diagonal² = √(2 × sidelength²) → diagonal = side_length × √2 → diagonal = 11 in × √2 ≈ 15.6 in

What is the area if the volume is 169 cubic inches and the height is 13 inches?
Presumably by area you mean surface area. In order to answer this, we would need to know the shape in question. If it is a cylinder, rectangle, or something similar with a linear shape to it, then the answer, and if you are only looking for the area of the top face, then the answer would be 13 square inches, as the volume would be that surface area times it's height. 13 * 13 = 169, hence the answer. If it's any other type of shape, then we can not give an answer until you provide more details.
How do you figure out square inches in a yard?
Square inches measure area. Yards measure length.If you mean square inches (of area) per square yard (of area), read on.First, there are 12 inches to a foot, and 3 feet to a yard. That makes 12 x 3 = 36 inches per yard. then to find square inches in a square yard, you need to square the 36--that is, multiply it by itself. So....36 x 36 = 1296.
