If the diagonal of a square measures 16√2 cm, what is the area of the square in sq. cm?

A    32√2

B    64√2

C    128

D    256

Solution

Correct Answer: Option D

 

First we need to find side 'a'

To find side a we will use formula:

d=√2⋅a

After substituting d=22.63 we have:

22.63=√2⋅a

a=22.63/√2

a=16.0018

STEP 2: Now we find area A

To find area A we will use formula:

A=a2

After substituting a=16.0018264583 we have:

A=16.00182645832

A=256.0585
