Question 852635: Your neighbor has a square garden, he wants to install a sprinkler in the center if the garden so that the water sprays only as far as the corners of the garden. What is the approximate radius at which your neighbor should set the sprinkler?

Since you mention radius, I will assume it is a sprinkler that sprinkles in a circle.
1/2 sqrt(2s^2)=s/2*(sqrt2)
