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.

What is the perimeter if the area is 104yds?

Well, before we really get into it, "104yds" is a distance, not an area. 'Yard'is not a unit of area. But 'square yard' is, so I'm going to assume you mean"140 square yards" for the area, because then I can go on and answer the question.And the answer is: There's no way to tell. Knowing the area doesn't tell youthe perimeter.Here are five different rectangles:#1). 1 yd by 104 yds#2). 2 yds by 52 yds#3). 13 ft by 24 ft#4). 4 yds by 26 yds#5). 8 yds by 13 ydsAll 5 of these rectangles have the same area . . . 140 square yards.But their perimeters are:#1). 210 yds#2). 108 yds#3). 54 yds#4). 60 yds#5). 42 ydsAnd just for grins, here's a bonus rectangle at no extra cost:Length . . . 1inchWidth . . . . 2miles 1520yardsArea . . . . . 140square yardsPerimeter . 5miles 1,280yards 2inches


How many kilometers of fencing for a 10 acre square area?

approx 0.805 km of fencing. 10 acre = 48400 sq yds ⇒ each side of square = √48400 yds = 220 yds ⇒ perimeter = 4 x 220 yds = 880 yds 1 km ≈ 1094 yds ⇒ perimeter ≈ 880 ÷ 1094 km ≈ 0.805 km
