Oh, what a happy little question! To find the side length of a square with a diagonal of 16, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Since the diagonal, side length, and side length form a right triangle, we can use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the side lengths and c is the diagonal. In this case, we have 2 sides of the square equal to each other, so we can simplify the equation to 2a^2 = 16^2. Solving this, we find that the side length of the square is 8.
Around 17.8. I did this with cossin, but check the answer with a calculator
Sqrt (256 + 256) = sqrt 64 x sqrt 4 x sqrt 2 = 16 root 2 = just over 22' 7½".
Its perimeter is 4+4+4+4 = 16 units of measurement
Use the Law of Pythagoras - in this case, the answer is the square root of (162 + 92).
