Do you mean straight down the middle diagonally (makes to triangles) or straight down the middle vertically or horizontally (makes two rectangles)?
For the latter, each side is 29.66 feet (since 29.66 times 29.66 is 880). This means that a wall parallel to it must also be 29.66 feet. For the former, you must use the pythagorean theorem, which says that one leg of a right triangle squared plus the other leg of a right triangle squared is equal to the hypotenuese squared. In that case, the line diagonally down the middle is 41.95 feet

The size depends somewhat on the climate where you live. If your highest temps in the summer are usually in the low 80s, you can get by with a little less than the rules suggest. I have been house-hunting for the past week, and most of the houses that are around 2000 - 2200 sq ft, with a 2nd floor bonus room over the garage, have a 4 ton central unit (that's 48,000 BTU). Having two stories complicates both heating and cooling. It is best to have a separate unit for the upstairs, but of course that costs more. At the least, you should have plenty of outlets upstairs and at least one return air duct. I will add that excellent insulation in walls and attic will make a big difference in the cooling requirements, and also such things as trees shading your roof, and high-quality insulated windows will help.

Depends if it's got 4 walls or not. If it does, the middle wall would be equal in length to a parallel outside wall. Example: if the building is a square, each wall would be 29.66 ft long. If its a rectangle, the middle wall would equal a parallel outside wall. If there are more than 4 walls, I guess it would depend on where the inside wall would be.

It would be the square root of 880. This assumes you don't mean diagonally measure, but perpendicular to one set of walls.
If you mean diagonally measured then it would be the square root of 1760 (880 times 2).

If I understand your question, the answer would be the sq. root of 880, which is 4*(sqrt55) in simplified terms.

4(sqrt 55) assuming that you don't mean diagonally middle

if i did this correctly,
it would be 440
