The points A(0, 0), B(5, 0), C(5, 5) and D(0, 5) are the corners of a plot. A flagpole is to be placed at the centre, equidistant from all four corners. What is its distance (in units) from each corner?

Question

Accepted Answer

2.5√2. Centre of the square is (2.5, 2.5). Distance to a corner, say (0,0), = √2.5^2 + 2.5^2 = √12.5 = 2.5√2.

The points A(0, 0), B(5, 0), C(5, 5) and D(0, 5) are the corners of a plot.
