Example Question #91 : How To Find The Area Of A Square

Find the area of the square.

Possible Answers:

3136

1568

1998

2428

Correct answer:

1568

Explanation:

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.

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

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

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

Recall how to find the area of a square.

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

Now, substitute in the value of the diagonal to find the area of the square.

$\text{Area}=\frac{56^2}{2}$

Solve.

$\text{Area}=1568$

1682

3364

Correct answer:

1682

Explanation:

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.

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

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

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

Recall how to find the area of a square.

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

Now, substitute in the value of the diagonal to find the area of the square.

$\text{Area}=\frac{58^2}{2}$

Solve.

$\text{Area}=1682$

3600

1800

Correct answer:

1800

Explanation:

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.

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

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

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

Recall how to find the area of a square.

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

Now, substitute in the value of the diagonal to find the area of the square.

$\text{Area}=\frac{60^2}{2}$

Solve.

$\text{Area}=1800$

Example Question #93 : How To Find The Area Of A Square

Find the area of a square inscribed in a circle that has a diameter of .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Notice that when a squre is inscribed in a circle, the diameter of the circle is also the diagonal of the square.

$\text{Diameter}=\text{Diagonal}$

Thus, we can figure out the diagonal of the square.

$\text{Diagonal}=4$

Recall that the diagonal of a square is also the hypotenuse of a right isosceles triangle that has the sides of the square as its legs. We can then use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the sides of the square.

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

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

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

Now, recall the formula for the area of a square.

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

Thus, we can also write the following formula to find the area of the square:'

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

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

$\text{Area}=\frac{4^2}{2}=8$
