B as the diagonal of a square with side a is sqrt(2) * a. Here a is sqrt(x)

Are of a square = $$\frac{diagonal^2}{2}$$.

Given: $$\frac{diagonal^2}{2}=x$$;

$$diagonal=\sqrt{2x}$$.

Hello Bunuel isnt the formula of the area of square $$a^2$$ where $$a$$ is side of square ?

is it another formula ? $$\frac{diagonal^2}{2}$$. does diagonal of square mean $$a\sqrt{2}$$ cause you write so $$diagonal^2$$

have a great monday

Yes, the area of a square could also be found by $$\frac{diagonal^2}{2}$$.
