Find the area and perimeter of a square plot of land whose diagonal is 24 m long. |
|
Answer» Area of the square = \(\frac{1}{2}\times Diagonal^2\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\times 24\times 24\) = 288 m2 Now, let the side of the square be x m. Thus, we have: Area = Side2 \(\Rightarrow\) 288 = x2 \(\Rightarrow\) x = \(12\sqrt{2}\) \(\Rightarrow\) x = 16.92 Perimeter = 4 x Side = 4 x 16.92 = 67.68m Thus, the perimeter of thee square plot is 67.68m. |
