If the square then the area = side * side.
A = 50
therefore side = square root of 50

The longest line that fits in a square is a diagonal line from corner to corner. The length of this can be calculated using pythogoras' theorem.

A2 + B2 = C2

For this specific square A = B = squareroot of 50

So 50 + 50 = C2

C2 = 100
C = 10

The longest line is 10 feet

How do you figure out the longest line segment on area 27 cm by 21 cm?

IF it is assumed that the area in question is a rectangle, then the longest line segment that will fit in it is the diagonal. Then, by Pythagoras's Theorem, its length will be sqrt(272 + 212) = 34.21 cm (approx.)However, if it not a rectangle, all bets are off.A parallelogram with sides of 27 and 21 will accommodate a line segment that is a fraction short of 27+21 = 48 cm.


How do you find the perimeter of one side of a square when you are given the area and a smaller square inside?
