Question

The perimeter of a square is 44. Find the length of a diagonal.

Answer 1

if the perimeter is 44 the the diagonal is 22

Answer 2

It will be sqrt(242) or approximately 15.556

Explanation:

Knowing that the perimeter is 44, you will divide it by 4 to get the length of the sides. It's best to think of this as a Pythagorean Theorem problem.

(a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

Substitute 11 into variable "a" and "b" and square them... resulting in

121 + 121 = c^2

242 = c^2

SO

sqrt (242) = c

PS. sqrt means square root of
