Answer:

s = √2

Explanation:

This is a 45-45-90 right angle.

All sides of this square have length s.

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to write an expression for s².

s² + s² = 2², or

2s² = 2²

Reduce this by dividing both sides by 2:

s² = 2

Taking the square root of both sides yields s = √2

The side length is s = √2. All sides have this single length.
