The area of a square garden is 50 m2. How long is the diagonal?
Solution:
Given, the area of a square garden is 50 square metres.
We have to find the length of the diagonal.
We know, area of a square = a²
Where, a is the side of the square.
So, a² = 50
Taking square root,
a = √50
The side of the given square garden is √50 m.
We know, diagonal of a square, d² = a² + a²
Now, d² = (√50)² + (√50)²
d² = 50 + 50
d² = 100
Taking square root,
d = √100
d = 10 m
Therefore, the diagonal is 10 m long.
The area of a square garden is 50 m2. How long is the diagonal?
Summary:
The area of a square garden is 50 m2. The diagonal is 10 m long.
