to get the length of one side of the square, divide the diagonal by $\sqrt2$ 
then multiply the result by $4$ to get the perimeter

anonymous · Answer

so  $$24 \div \sqrt{2}$$ ?

anonymous · Answer

or is it the sqrt of 24? Because that's 4.9 and then i'll divide it by 4? so 1.22??? I'm confused @satellite73
