for this problem the steps are below

recall pythagorean theorem

a {}^(2) + b {}^(2) = c {}^(2)
where and and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse


4 {}^(2) + 4 {}^(2) = d {}^(2)
apply Pythagorean theorem

√(16 + 16 ) = d
square each 4 and take the square root of both sides

√(32) = d
simplify

reduce the radical
FINAL ANSWER

4 √(2) = d

or you can simply see that it's a 45 45 90 triangle and know that the hypotenuse d equal one of the legs times the square root of 2
