Answer 1

Answer:  8.9

========================================================

Explanation:

Check out the diagram below.

• a = 6.3 inches
• b = 6.3 inches
• c = unknown hypotenuse

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of c.

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{(6.3)^2 + (6.3)^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{39.69+39.69}\\\\c = \sqrt{79.38}\\\\c \approx 8.9095\\\\c \approx 8.9$

The distance from one corner to the opposite corner is about 8.9 inches.
