The numerical value of the area of a square is equal to half the numerical value of each of its diagonals. What is the numerical value of diagonal? Correct Answer 1

Given:

The numerical value of the area of a square is equal to half the numerical value of each of its diagonals.

Concept Used:

If the length of the sides of a square is a then the area of the square is a2 and the length of the diagonal of the square is (a√2)

Calculation:

Let, the length of the side of the square is a unit

Area of the square is a2 square unit

Length of the diagonal of the square is √2a unit

accordingly,

a2= (1/2)√2a

⇒ a2 = a/√2

⇒ a = (1/√2)

The length of the diagonal is {√2 × (1/√2) 

⇒ 1

∴ The numerical value of diagonal is 1.
