Perimeter=4*length of side=x
Or, length of side=x/4
Diagonal of square=$$\sqrt{2}$$* length of side=$$\sqrt{2}*\frac{x}{4}$$

Ans. (E)

Sides of the square = $$\frac{x}{4}$$

So, Diagonal of the square = $$\frac{x√2}{4}$$, Answer must be (E)

We can let n = side and create the perimeter equation:

4n = x

n = x/4
Recall that the diagonal of a square is the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle. Thus, we have:

Hypotenuse = Diagonal = side * √2 = x/4 * √2 = x√2/4

Perimeter of square= x

Side of square must be= $$\frac{x}{4}$$

Diagonal of square= $$\sqrt{2}$$ * side of square= $$\frac{x}{4}\sqrt{2}$$
