Question 15 of 15Taniah is trying to find the area of the following square whereWY=10. What is the area?

Answer 1

The area of a square given its diagonal (d) is computed as follows:

$A=\frac{1}{2}d^2$

In this case, the diagonal is 10 units long, then the area is:

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot10^2 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot100 \\ A=50\text{ square units} \end{gathered}$
