Question

7. If the diagonals of a square measure 24
meters, what is the length of a side of the
square?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step 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

$x = \sqrt{12} \\ \sqrt{4x3} \\2\sqrt{3}$
