a square has 4 equal sides therfore all sides are 25 feet long

the sides joining at each corner form a 90 degree perpendicular angle

to solve for the length of a diagonal line from the opposite corners:

"a" & "b" are for the two sides / "c" is for the diagonal line

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

25^2 + 25^2 = c^2

625 + 625 = c^2

1250 = c^2

c = the square root of 1250

c =35.35 feet
