Answer:

=12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

When a square is cut along one diagonal, it forms a right angled triangle whose legs are the sides of the square and the hypotenuse is the diagonal of the square.

Therefore, the Pythagoras theorem is used to find the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

(6√2)²+(6√2)²=c²

72+72=c²

c²=144

c=√144

=12

The diagonals of the square measure 12 units each.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the general area formula for finding the area of triangle when you are given information for SAS, which we have been.

$A=\frac{1}{2}absinC$ , where a and b are the given side lengths and C is the included angle. You can ONLY use this when you have the info for SAS in a triangle. For us,
