AREA, PERIMETER, AND DIAGONAL OF SQUARE -

For a Square with side a units, we have –                                                                

a)  Perimeter = (4 X Side) = 4 a units

b) Area = (side)² = a² sq. units

              1

c) Area = ------ X (Diagonal)² sq. units

              2                                                                                                        

d) Diagonal = √a² + a² units = √2a² units = √2 a units  = √2 X Area units

Example.) The length of the diagonal of a square is 24 m. Find i) the area of square, ii) its perimeter upto three decimal places.

                                     1

Ans.)  i) the area of square = ------- X (diagonal)²

                                     2

                                    1

                               = ----- X 24 X 24  = 288 cm²

                                    2

 

ii) sides of the square = √288 = 16.970 cm

so, its perimeter = 16.970 X 4 = 67.882 cm            (Ans.)
