The perimeter of a square is 48 meters. What is the length of a side and a diagonal?

Answer 1

The length of a side is 48/4 = 12 meters

The length of a diagonal is 12sqrt(2) meters.

Answer 2

perimeter = 48 m

length of a side
= 48/4
= 12m

length of a diagonal
=sqrt(12^2+12^2)
= 12sqrt(2) m

Answer 3

The length of a side would be 12 m. The diagonal would be 144 + 144 = c squared, or 16.97 m.

Answer 4

If perimeter = 48, each side = 12.

Diagonal = 12* squareroot of 2, using Pythagorean.

length plus dagonal = 12 + 12* squareroot of 2

Answer 5

C'mon I'm sure you know the first part and that you can do it yourself. Just know that a square has 4 EQUAL SIDES.

As for part (b) of your question: now that you know each side of a square you can use Pythagoras theorem to obtain the length of the diagonal.

(length of a side)^2 + (length of a side)^2 = (length of diagonal)^2

Now try to do it yourself and see if you get the answers. Try checking your textbooks or notes or even your friends and tutors first before resorting to the Internet.

Answer 6

Perimeter of a Square = Four times the Side of a Square = 4S

4S = 48
Dividing by 4 on both sides
S = 12

Diagonal = Side times Root 2
D = 12Root2

Answer 7

Side will be 12 metres (48/4)

Diagonal will be 16.97 metres square root of the square on two sides

sq root ((12*12) + (12*12))

Answer 8

side = 48/4 = 12 m
diagonal = (square root) 288

Answer 9

side=12, diagonal=16.97 (or square root of 288)

Answer 10

why dont you just piss off with all the stupid maths questions! go do your own homework numb-nuts!
