Find the area and perimeter of a square plot of land whose diagonal is 24 m long. [ Take: √2 = 1.41.]
Given:
Diagonal = 24 m
Let the side of square be s
Area of square = 1/2 × Diagonal2
= 1/2 × 242
= 288 m2
Area of square = side2
⇒ 288 m2 = s2
⇒ s = 12√2 m
⇒ s = 16.92 m
Therefore,
Perimeter of square = 4 × 16.92
= 67.68 m
