To find the perimeter of a square when half of its diagonal is equal to eight, we can use the following steps:

Let's assume the side length of the square is "s" and the length of the diagonal is "d". Since half of the diagonal is equal to eight, we have:


\displaystyle (1)/(2)d=8

Multiplying both sides by 2, we find:


\displaystyle d=16

In a square, the length of the diagonal is equal to
\displaystyle √(2)s. Substituting the value of "d", we have:


\displaystyle 16=√(2)s

To find the value of "s", we can square both sides:


\displaystyle (16)^(2)=(√(2)s)^(2)

Simplifying, we get:


\displaystyle 256=2s^(2)

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:


\displaystyle 128=s^(2)

Taking the square root of both sides, we have:


\displaystyle s=√(128)

Simplifying the square root, we get:


\displaystyle s=8√(2)

The perimeter of a square is given by 4 times the length of one side. Substituting the value of "s", we find:


\displaystyle \text{Perimeter}=4* 8√(2)

Simplifying, we get:


\displaystyle \text{Perimeter}=32√(2)

Therefore, the perimeter of the square is
\displaystyle 32√(2).
