For the square with side length n, the diagonal measures:
The sidelength of the square is n, and we want to get the length of the diagonal d.
Notice that the diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose catheti measure n.
Then we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the cathetus;
That is the length of the diagonal.

Answer:
x^2/1 +y^2/81 = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the equation of a unit circle is ...
x^2 +y^2 = 1 . . . . . equation of a unit circle
We also know that replacing x with x/a in a function will expand the graph by a factor of 'a'. Similarly, replacing y with y/b will do the same in the vertical direction.
An ellipse is a circle that has had different expansion factors applied along its different axes. Here, the given points tell us the center of the ellipse is (0, 0), and that it has been expanded by a factor of 9 in the y-direction and a factor of 1 in the x-direction This means the equation for it would be ...
(x/1)^2 +(y/9)^2 = 1 . . . . . equation for desired ellipse
In the required form, this is ...
