Prove that the area of a square whose diagonal has length d is A = A = 1/2d². A square with a diagonal of length d is given. The area of the square is A = -d₁ - d₂ with diagonal lengths d and d₂ because a square has ---Select--- ]. It follows that d₁ = d₂ because a square has ---Select--- . So, given one diagonal of length d, the other diagonal has length 1) A = = 1/8². . Therefore by Substitution, the area is
