If a square lawn has an area a, what is the length of a pathway that leads from one corner of the lawn directly to the exact center of the lawn?
a. rt(2a)/2
b. rt(2a)
c. a rt(2)/2
d. rt(a)
e. a
Here, let the sides of the square be s. So, area=s^2=a.
diagonal = s rt(2)= rt(a) rt(2)=rt(2a). What am I missing here??
OA - A
