    The diagonal of a square can be obtained by the Pythagorean theorem and is given by:

    Diagonal = root (L ^ 2 + L ^ 2)

    Where,

    L: Sides of the squares

    Clearing L, we have:

    (Diagonal) ^ 2 = L ^ 2 + L ^ 2

    (Diagonal) ^ 2 = 2L ^ 2

    L ^ 2 = ((Diagonal) ^ 2) / 2

    L = (((Diagonal) ^ 2) / 2) ^ (1/2)

    Substituting

    L = (((24) ^ 2) / 2) ^ (1/2) = 16.97

    The side of the playground is 16.97m long
