Since this table top is a square, we would expect it to have the same sides. So if your halfway, we can add another 150 1-inch square tile pieces, which makes it 300 inches (150 + 150 = 300; then multiplied by 1 inch).

(a) The dimension can be described using length and width values. So, its dimension is 300 x 300 inches.

(b) The diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner is calculated using the formula: d= √2a, where a represents the measurement of 1 side. Using the values and formula, the diagonal therefore measures 424.26 inches.
