Part 1:
The length of a side is 9 cm.
The square root of 81 is 9. We have to find the square root bc we know it is a square.
Part 2:
The hypotenuse (or diagonal) is c.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem
you would know that 9 is a and b.
We know that
so you add 81 to 81.
81 and 81 make 162.
So you know ...
You take the square root of 162.
well almost.
