Question

what is the side length of the smallest square plate on which a 24-cm chopstick can fit along a diagonal without any overhang???!!!!!!!

Answer 1

A square is basically two triangles put together and since a square has four right angles you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to do this.

A squared +b squared <24
5 squared x 5 squared = 25

Sooooooo...... ;)
