Example Question #350 : Quadrilaterals

Find the area of a square if its diagonal is $2\sqrt{15}$ .

Possible Answers:

$30\sqrt2$

$30\sqrt3$

Correct answer:

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.

$\text{Area}=\frac{(2\sqrt{15})^2}{2}=\frac{60}{2}=30$

Example Question #351 : Quadrilaterals

Find the area of a square if it has a diagonal of $\sqrt5$ .

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{2}$

$5\sqrt2$

$\frac{15}{2}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5}{2}$

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify.

$\text{Area}=\frac{5}{2}$
