7 square root of 2 fam

Explanation:

took the test and passed

Answer 2

`7√(2)`

Explanation:

Given is a picture of a square with each side = 7 units

Since a square is right angled we have the diagonal bisecting the square into two isosceles right triangles.

Use Pythagorean theorem to get the diagonal length.

Hence diagonal =
`√(7^2+7^2) =7√(2)`

Alternate method:

Find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the length of one side by the square root of 2: If the length of one side is x, then diagonal will have length as

`x√(2)`
