the diagonal of a square equals √2 times the side length using 1.4 for the square root of 2 what is the approximate length in feet from one corner to an opposite corner of a square park that is 700 feet on a side
Let's denote the side length of the square park as "s". According to the given information, we know that the diagonal of the square park is equal to √2 times the side length:
diagonal = √2 * side length
Applying this to our situation:
diagonal = √2 * 700 feet ≈ 1.4 * 700 feet ≈ 980 feet
Therefore, the approximate length from one corner to an opposite corner of the square park is 980 feet.
