Diagonal length is the hypotenuse if you split the square into two triangles a^2+b^2=c^2 14^2= 196 196/2=98 we have to use surds. the highest square number that goes into 98= 49x2 sqrt49 = 7 so your answer would be 7sqrt2 we can check our answer by doing 14^2= 196 we need to do (7sqrt2x7sqrt2)+(7sqrt2x7sqrt2) =well sqrt2xsqrt2 is just 2. then we are left with 7x7=49 49x2= 98 98+98= 196 so your hypotenuse is 14 then both of your sides are 7sqrt2
Step-by-step eA square has 4 sides and all are equal. A square has 4 right angles. The diagonal of the square divides it into two right angle triangles.
Let x represent the length of each side of the square. Therefore, x represents the opposite and adjacent sides of the right angle triangle while the diagonal represents the hypotenuse. To determine the length of each side of the square, we would apply Pythagorean theorem which is expressed as
