Answer:
c = 20 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The largest square will be 14 sqrt(2) ft long
To figure out the side length of the square
use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 =c^2
we are limited by the shortest side of the rectangle
28 ft
each side of the triangle is 1/2 the length of the short side of the rectangle or 14 ft
a^2 + b^2 =c^2
14^2 + 14^2 = c^2 where c is the side of the square
196 + 196 = c^2
392 = c^2
take the square root of each side
sqrt(392) = sqrt(c^2)
c = 14sqrt(2)
c = 19.799ft
to the nearest whole number
c = 20 ft
