Answer:
5 × √2 or 7,071067811865475
Step-by-step explanation:
the diagonal of a square splits the square into 2 right triangles. So we can use Pythagorean's theorem.
where c is the hypotenuse. So the diagonal is the hypotenuse here, and thus c = 10. Now, since we are dealing with a square, all the sides are the same length, so a = b. So we have:
a² + a² = c²
2a² = 100
a² = 50
a = √50
a = 5 × √2 or 7,071067811865475
