Answer:

The length side of the square is
7√(2)\ cm

Explanation:

The question in English is

Find the measure of the side of a square whose diagonal is 14 cmd

Let

d ----> the diagonal of a square in cm

b ---> the length side of a square in cm

we know that

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

see the attached figure to better understand the problem


d^2=b^2+b^2


d^2=2b^2

we have


d=14\ cm

substitute the given value


14^2=2b^2

solve for b


196=2b^2


98=b^2

take square root both sides


b=√(98)\ cm

simplify


b=7√(2)\ cm
