So you may be in a box, but you are walking on a square. The area of the square is 16. Since the area is S^2, how do you \"undo\" the square? The square of a number is found by multiplying the number times itself. How about with the square root? the square root \"un-do\" the square.
\n" ); document.write( "What number times itself equals 16? 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4
\n" ); document.write( "Once you have found that number, that is how far they walked from one corner to the next one.
\n" ); document.write( "Now, if you meant from one corner to the OPPOSITE corner it would be a different calculation. If this is the case, restate the problem and re-post.\r
