Answer:
Sam is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the lengths of the diagonals using Pythagoras' identity.
The diagonals divide the rectangle and square into 2 right triangles.
Consider Δ SRQ from the rectangle
SQ² = SR² + RQ² = 12² + 6² = 144 + 36 = 180 ( take square root of both sides )
SQ = ≈ 13.4 in ( to 1 dec. place )
Consider Δ ONM from the square
OM² = ON² + NM² = 6² + 6² = 36 + 36 = 72 ( take square root of both sides )
OM = ≈ 8.5 in ( to 1 dec. place )
Now 2 × OM = 2 × 8.5 = 17 ≠ 13.4
Then diagonal OM is not twice the length of diagonal SQ
