Give your answer as a radical expresion in simplest form and then stimate the lenght to the nearest tenth of a foot. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It is telling you that ft is one
side of the square, and it is asking you
for the distance between opposite corners.
The sides are all equal to ft
and, for a square, the diagonal and a side
are in the ratio to ,
so I can say
Multiply both sides by ft (rounded to nearest 1/10 th)
