Answer:
Area of square = 1/2 (d)²
= 1/2 (12)²
= 1/2 × 12 × 12
= 72 cm sq
Side of a square = √Area
= √72
= √(2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3)
= 2 × 3√2
= 6 × 1.41
= 8.46 cm
Perimeter of square = 4 × 8.46 = 33.84 cm

Diagonal AC=BD= 12 cm
Let each side of the square ABCD is x cm.Then,
Using the formula,
Area of square is x²cm²
In right triangle ABC,
AB²+BC²=AC²
=>x²+x²=12²
=>2x²=144cm²
=>x²=72cm
Hence, area of square is 72cm².
