I need some help with this question!

You are building a square table. You put a diagonal support on the underside of the tabletop. The diagonal support is 3 meters long. What is a side length of the square table? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Answer:

2.1

Step-by-step explanation:all side lengths are the same (duh) use 4 and 3 (4 bc there is 4 sides). 4 as the diagonal support

4²=16

3²=9

16-9=7 then use square root for 7 the square root of 7 is 2.6457513111 or 2.1
