Question

7. If the diagonals of a square measure 24

meters, what is the length of a side of the
square?

Answer 1

Explanation:

the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a 45-45-right triangle

the two legs are the same measure so the Pythagoreant theorem

2x²=24 divide by 2

x² = 12 square root

`x = √(12) \\ √(4x3) \\2√(3)`
