To find the diagonal dimension, you must find the length of the hypotenuse
The formula to find the hypotenuse is a2 + b2 = c2. Since we know that both the legs are twenty feet long, then we can fill in the formula.
202 + 202 = c2
400 + 400 = c2
800 = c2
c = √800
c ≈ 28.28

What is the diagonal of a 20ft x 20ft square?
Since a square has right angles, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate the diagonal. Specifically, the diagonal of a square is equal to the length of a side, multiplied by the square root of 2.
How many cubic feet are in a 12 X 14 foot room?
You need to include the third dimension to calculate the cubic capacity of a room
12' 24' diagonal measurement?
The diagonal of a 12' x 24' rectangle is approx 26.8'.
Room size 20 x 20 is how many square feet?
400 square feet.
What is the area in terms of x of a rhombus with one diagonal that is 4 times the other diagonal?
Diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular so the product is the area. If x is the smaller diagonal, the longer is 4x, and the area if 4x2.
