The formula is A=s2{\displaystyle A=s^{2}}, where A{\displaystyle A} equals the area of the square, and s{\displaystyle s} equals the length of one side of the square. This method only works if you are given the area of the square. To find the length of the diagonal, you have to first find the length of one side of the square, which is why you must set up the area formula and solve for s{\displaystyle s}. Make sure you are substituting for the variable A{\displaystyle A}. For example, if the area of the square is 25 square centimeters, your formula will look like this:25=s2{\displaystyle 25=s^{2}} To do this, find the square root of the area. This will give you the length of one side of the square. To find the square root, use a calculator. If you need help calculating the square root by hand, read Calculate a Square Root by Hand. For example:25=s2{\displaystyle 25=s^{2}}25=s2{\displaystyle {\sqrt {25}}={\sqrt {s^{2}}}}5=s{\displaystyle 5=s} In the formula d{\displaystyle d} equals the length of the diagonal and s{\displaystyle s} equals one side of the square. This formula is derived from the Pythagorean Theorem (a2+b2=c2){\displaystyle a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2})}. A diagonal divides a square into two congruent right triangles, thus, you can use the side lengths of the square to find the length of the diagonal (which would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle). Make sure you are substituting for the variable s{\displaystyle s}. For example, if the square has a side length of 5 centimeters, set up the formula like this:d=52{\displaystyle d=5{\sqrt {2}}} This will give you the length of the diagonal. *It's best to perform the calculation on a calculator, so that you can get a more precise result. If you don't have a calculator, you can round 2{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} to 1.414. For example, if you are calculating the diagonal of a 5-centimeter square, your formula will look like this:d=52{\displaystyle d=5{\sqrt {2}}}d=7.07{\displaystyle d=7.07}So, the diagonal of the square is 7.07 centimeters long.

Summary: Set up the formula for the area of a square. Plug the area measurement into the formula. Solve for s{\displaystyle s}. Set up the formula d=s2{\displaystyle d=s{\sqrt {2}}}. Plug the side length of the square into the formula. Multiply the length of the side by 2{\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}}.

Replace self-criticism with self-compassion and say "sorry" to yourself for being judgmental or demeaning. This might sound like, "I'm sorry for beating myself up when I make mistakes. I am only human and all humans are imperfect in some way." Do this every time you find yourself in a cycle of criticism or disapproval. Aim to accept and love yourself as you would a close friend. Instead of being hard on yourself when you make a mistake, caress your arm or shoulders as if to say "There, there, don't be sad." You might even hug yourself if this feels comfortable, or notice when you need a hug and ask someone else to give you one. Regularly engage in activities that affirm your self-worth. Feeding yourself healthy foods, exercising, and going to bed early are all ways to remind yourself that you are good and worthy of nurturing. Self-care can be anything constructive that makes you feel good, such as soaking in a tub of bath salts, listening to your favorite album, coloring, going for a run, performing self-massage, or cuddling with your dog. You can even use your self-care routine to counter any negative talk you've had about yourself. For example, if you typically criticize your facial skin, spend extra time applying a face mask and caring for this part of you. Showing compassion for yourself means building relationships with positive, uplifting people who make you feel good about who you are. Identify those people in your life and set an intention to be with them more often. If you don't have many loved ones who are accepting of you, consider joining a support group or a club relating to a hobby or interest.

Summary: Forgive yourself for being human. Generate loving-kindness towards yourself. Adopt a self-care routine. Find others who lift you up.

Dogs can be great family pets as well as great tools for protecting your property from intruders. Some dog breeds are better for property protection than others. With the proper training, quality guard dogs will bark, bite, intimidate, and chase intruders away. In general, the best dog breeds for protection include: Bullmastiffs Doberman Pinschers Rottweilers German Shepherds Akitas Do not simply purchase the first dog you find. Dogs need to match the personality of their owners and you need to make sure you purchase a dog that you can take care of. For example, guard dogs are very active and need to be exercised often. In addition, they can be aggressive towards others if not properly trained; therefore, it is important you shop around until you find the right dog for you. Additionally, while it is always nice to adopt a dog from a shelter, these dogs often need extra training due to possible emotional and physical problems that arose before you owned them; therefore, it might be a good idea to purchase a puppy from a reputable breeder if you are purchasing a dog for home protection.
Summary: Research good guard animals. Shop around.
