Answer:

980 ft

Explanation:

The diagonal of a square is given by the formula:

\( \text{Diagonal} = \text{Side length} \times \sqrt{2} \)

Given that the side length of the square park is 700 feet and the square root of 2 is approximately 1.4, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\( \text{Diagonal} = 700 \, \text{feet} \times 1.4 \approx 980 \, \text{feet} \)

So, the approximate length from one corner to an opposite corner of the square park is 980 feet.
