Answer:

4.24

Explanation:

Since it is the midpoint, it means that the entire diagonal will measure twice, that is 3 * 2 = 6

To calculate the length of the sides, we can do it by means of Pythagoras, since it is a square a = b

c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2

c ^ 2 = 2 * a ^ 2

6 ^ 2 = 2 * a ^ 2

a ^ 2 = 36/2

a = 4.24

therefore, it means that the sides of the square measure 4.24
