A Square Has A 40-Cm Diagonal How Long Is Each Side Of The Square ? Round To The Nearest Tenth Of A Centimeter
a square has a 40-cm diagonal how long is each side of the square ? round to the nearest tenth of a centimeter
Answer:
In solving this problem we use the Pythagorean Theorem which is:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
40^2 = x^2 + x^2 (squared the following given)
1600 = 2x^2
1600 = 2x^2 (divide the given by 2)
2 2
800 =x^2
√800 = √x^2 (find the square root)
28. 3 = x
The final answer is x = 28.3.
