In a square, the length of a side is s and the diagonal is d. What is the perimeter of the square?

(1) The area is 25 cm2.

(2) The diagonal is \(10\sqrt{2}\) in.

Area of a square = \(side^2\)
Diagonal of a square = \(\sqrt{2}*side\)
Perimeter of a square = 4*side

1) Area = 25cm2 => side = 5cm => Perimeter = 20cm => SUFFICIENT
2) Diagonal = \(10\sqrt{2}\) in. => Side = 10in. => Perimiter = 40in.

IMO D. But answers don't match..

Bunuel statement 1 gives us side 5 whereas statement 2 is giving us length of side 10. Don't you think both the statements are contradicting each other.

You are absolutely correct. (2) should read: the diagonal is\(5\sqrt{2}\)cm. Edited.
