    I am looking at a 5 foot by 5 foot square and I was told to find the diameter of the square? Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    Is it unsolvable? Diameters only go with circles right?

    It's a trick question right? If the diameter is 5 feet then the radius is 2.5 feet. (r=d/2)

    Your problem CANNOT be solved! The ONLY shape that has a DIAMETER is a CIRCLE, NOT squares, NOT triangles, NOT rectangles, NOT trapezoids, NOT polygons, NOT ovals, ad infinitum.

    You misread the question. Note that the OP said SQUARE.
