Question

The older square-shaped floppy diskettes measured 15 cm on each side. What was the diagonal length of a diskette?

Answer 1

Answer:

$15\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we can use is

$d=\sqrt{2} *a$

Where d is the length of the diagonal and a is the length of the side of the square

Since, the floppies are in square shape and side length is 15, so a = 15

We simply put it into the formula and get length of diagonal.

$d=\sqrt{2} *a\\d=\sqrt{2} *15\\d=15\sqrt{2}$

Hence, diagonal length is  $15\sqrt{2}$
