Example Questions

Example Question #341 : Quadrilaterals

Find the area of a square if its diagonal is $7\sqrt5$ .

Possible Answers:

$46\sqrt5$

$71\sqrt3$

$\frac{245\sqrt2}{4}$

$\frac{245}{2}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{245}{2}$

Explanation:

The diagonal of a square is also the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle.

Recall how to find the area of a square:

$\text{Area}=\text{side}^2$

Now, use the Pythagorean theorem to find the area of the square.

$\text{side}^2+\text{side}^2=\text{Diagonal}^2$

$2(\text{side})^2=\text{Diagonal}^2$

$\text{side}^2=\frac{\text{Diagonal}^2}{2}$

$\text{Area}=\text{side}^2=\frac{\text{Diagonal}^2}{2}$

Plug in the length of the diagonal to find the area of the square.

$\text{Area}=\frac{(7\sqrt5)^2}{2}=\frac{245}{2}$
