A square divided by a diagonal becomes two 45-45-90 triangles. this is a special type of triangle. in this triangle, the two short sides are
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt(hypotenuse)
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt(42.5) = 6.52
\n" ); document.write( "I) The perimeter of the square: 6.52 x 4 = 26.08
\n" ); document.write( "II) The area: Side^2 = 6.52 x 6.52 = 42.51
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
