Answer:

19.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the length of the diagonal of a square, first we need the length of it sides. We will get this information from the perimeter.

We calculate the perimeter of a square adding up the length of the 4 sides. As all the sides of a square are equal, we just take one side and multiply it by four.  

So, if the perimeter is 56 cm, that means 56 = 4*L, where L represents the length of the sides. If we want to know the value of L, we have to divide by 4 on both sides:

56 = 4*L

56/4 = 4/4*L

14 = L

Now we can find out the length of the diagonal using the Pythagorean equation  

\fbox {\textbf{Pythagorean equation}:} <em>The square of the length of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs (the two sides that meet at a right angle)</em>

In this case, the hypotenuse is the diagonal we want to find out and the legs are the two sides of the square.

So, we have  

D^2 = L^2 + L^2

D^2 = 14^2 + 14^2

D^2 = 392

D = \sqrt{392}

D = 19.8
