Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the square.

Length of the square = a

a² +a² = diagonal²

2a² = 12²

2a² = 144

a² = 144 ÷ 2

a² = 72

$a =\sqrt{72}\\\\ = \sqrt{2*2*2*3*3}\\\\ = 2*3\sqrt{2}\\\\a = 6\sqrt{2}\\\\\\\\Perimeter= 4a\\\\ = 4*6\sqrt{2}\\\\= 24\sqrt{2} cm$

Each vertical cross-section of the triangular

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The vertical height is $h=3\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

In the right triangle ABC

see the attached figure

To find the height h apply the Pythagoras Theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

we have

$c=AB=3\sqrt{2}\ units$

$a=BC=6/2=3\ units$

$b=AC=h\ units$

substitute

$(3\sqrt{2})^{2}=3^{2}+h^{2}$

$18=9+h^{2}$

$h^{2}=18-9=9$

$h=3\ units$
