Answer:

7.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the side length of the square. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the relationship to the diagonal length is ...

(10 cm)² = s² +s² . . . . the sum of the squares of the legs is the square of the hypotenuse

100 cm² = 2s² . . . . . . simplify

50 cm² = s² . . . . . . . . divide by 2

√(50) cm = s ≈ 7.1 cm . . . . . take the square root

The length of a side of the square to the nearest tenth is 7.1 cm.

subtract 16 to both sides
-4x + 16 - 16 = -116 - 16

simplify
-4x = -132

divide -4 to both sides
-4x/-4 = -132/-4
