\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = length of one side of the square
\n" ); document.write( "then from Pythagorean theorem we have:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2 = 42.5^2
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 = 1806.25
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 903.125
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30.052
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 4x = 120.208 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Area = x^2 = 903.125 sq cm\r
