How do you find the side of a square if you know its diagonal?
Divide the length of the diagonal of a square by 1.4142 (which is the square root of 2) to find the length of a side. Similarly, to find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the length of a side by 1.4142.
The diagonals of a square are what?
Length of diagonal = Square root ( (side length 2) * 2 )
What is the length of a diagonal of a square with a side length of 8?
8*sqrt(2) The diagonal of the square would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by two of the sides of the square.
What is length of diagonal line in rectangle 32 feet by 36 feet?
Using Pythagoras: 322+362 = 2320 and the square root of this is the length of the diagonal
How do you find area of square if diagonal is given?
Using Pythagoras' theorem which says that the square on the hypotenuse (in this case the diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides (which in the case of a square would be equal in length). so if the diagonal measured 10 units, the square on the diagonal would be 100 square units. And as this = 2*the squares on the other sides, the square on one side would be 100/2 = 50 square units. As a square has sides of equal length the square on one side is actually the area of the square. i.e. the area of a square with a diagonal of 10 units is 50 square units. or generically the area of a square with a diagonal of length 'x' = (x2)/2
