we know that diagonal of square is side squrt2
area = (side)^2 =450=2x225=15 sqrt2
diagonal wil be side xsqrt2= 15 sqrt2xsqrt2 =30 m

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

side = sqrt%28450%29 = 15%2Asqrt%282%29

diagonal = side%2Asqrt%282%29 = 15%2Asqrt%282%29%2Asqrt%282%29 = 15*2 = 30 m.

Answer. diagonal = 30 m.
