The area of a square garden is 200m². How long is the diagonal?

To find the length of the diagonal of a square garden, we first need to know the relationship between the area and the side length of the square. The area (A) of a square is given by the formula:

A = side²

In this case, the area is 200 m². We can calculate the length of one side of the garden:

side = √A = √200 m²

This simplifies to:

side ≈ 14.14 m

Now, to find the length of the diagonal (d) of the square, we can use the formula:

d = side × √2

Substituting the side length we found:

d ≈ 14.14 m × √2 ≈ 14.14 m × 1.414 ≈ 20 m

So, the length of the diagonal of the square garden is approximately 20 meters.
