Use Pythagorean theorem (a2 + b2 = c2). The diagonal measurement is just under 17.
122 + 122 = c2
144 + 144 = c2
288 = c2
c = SQRT288 = 16.9705627484771

Use Pythagoras: Diagonal² = √(2 × sidelength²) → diagonal = side_length × √2 → diagonal = 12 × √2 ≈ 17.0 units
A 12" x 12" square has a diagonal measurement of: 16.97 inches.
To find the diagonal measurement of a square, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse (the diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the diagonal measurement would be the square root of (7^2 + 8^2) = √(49 + 64) = √113. Therefore, the diagonal measurement of a 7 ft by 8 ft square is approximately 10.63 feet.
