Question

A square has an area of 25 square units. Find the length of the diagonal.

Answer 1

5sqrt(2)

Explanation:

Area = side²

25 = s²

s = 5

Diagonal² = s² + s²

Diagonal² = 5²+ 5²

Diagonal² = 50

Diagonal = 5sqrt(2)

sqrt: square root

Answer 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Find the length

Area of a Square = s^2

`25 = s^2`

`√(25) = √(s^2)`

`5 = s`

Answer: The length is 5 units
