Example Question #781 : Plane Geometry
Find the area of the square.
The diagonal of a square is also the hypotenuse of a right isosceles triangle that has the sides of the square as its legs.
Thus, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the sides of the square.
Recall how to find the area of a square.
Now, substitute in the value of the diagonal to find the area of the square.
