Question:

The length of diagonal of a square whose area is 216 cm2 is?

Options:

18 cm

12\(\sqrt {3}\) cm

12 cm

16\(\sqrt {3}\) cm

Correct Answer:

12\(\sqrt {3}\) cm

Explanation:

Area of sqaure = (side)2

⇒ 216 = (side)2

⇒ side = 6\(\sqrt {6}\) cm

diagonal of square = \(\sqrt {2}\) × side

                            = \(\sqrt {2}\) × 6\(\sqrt {6}\)

                          = 6\(\sqrt {12}\) = 12\(\sqrt {3}\) cm
