A square divided by a diagonal forms two isosceles right angles (isosceles triangle have two sides of the same length). These triangles have unique properties. Example, the diagonal = side x sqrt2. Now to solve for side:
Side = diagonal/sqrt2
Side = 10/sqrt2
side = 7.07
NOTE: this is a SQUARE garden, the width and the length are the same
