Question

A square sheet of paper measures 42 centimeters on each side. What is the length of the diagonal of this​ paper?

Answer 1

59.4cm
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal (^ means exponent)
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
42^2 + 42^2= c^2
1764+1764=c^2
3528=c^2
square root both sides
c= 59.39696962
round and you get 59.4 cm
