What is the approximate side length of the square if the diagonal is 3?

Mathematics

Alja [10]2 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of a square is the same thing as the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  This right triangle is a 45-45-90 since the sides are made up of sides of a square which all measure the same length, x.

Using Pythagorean's Theorem,

x^2+x^2=3^2  and

2x^2=9  and

x^2=\frac{9}{2}  and taking the square root of both sides gives us that

x=\frac{\sqrt{9} }{\sqrt{2} }  which simplifies to

x=\frac{3}{\sqrt{2} }  I'm assuming that your teacher has told you about rationalizing the denominator when you've got a radical there, so we will do that by multiplying by  \frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} } :

x=\frac{3}{\sqrt{2} }*\frac{\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} }  which gives us

x=\frac{3\sqrt{2} }{2}
