area of the square is 36.
\n" ); document.write( "that would be 6 on each side because 6*6 = 6^2 = 36
\n" ); document.write( "the (diagonal of the square) squared is equal to 6^2 + 6^2 = 72.
\n" ); document.write( "that makes the diagonal equal to sqrt(72).
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(72) is equal to 6 * sqrt(2).
\n" ); document.write( "in decimal form, the diagonal is therefore equal to 8.48528.
\n" ); document.write( "round to integer, it is closer to 8.
\n" ); document.write( "round to 1 decimal place, it is closer to 8.5.
\n" ); document.write( "round to 2 decimal places, it is closer to 8.49.
\n" ); document.write( "actually, it is equally close to 8.48 or 8.49, even though the rules tell you to round to the next higher integer if the third decimal place is a 5.
\n" ); document.write( "take your pick, depending on what your selections are.
