Answer:

45 degrees

Explanation:

all angles of a square add up to 360
360 divided by 4 is 90
the diagonal bisects the angle in half so 90 divided by 2 is 45

Answer:

45°

Explanation:

Each interior angles of a square is 90° since each side is perpendicular to its adjacent side.

Therefore, as the diagonal bisects the angle(s), this means it divides each 90° angle into 2 equal parts.

So 90 ÷ 2 = 45
