Detailed explanation: Let's find the diagonal AC of the bottom square, drawn in green below:Triangle ADC is a right triangle, with right angle ADC so we use the Pythagorean theorem: AC² = AD² + DC² AC² = 5² + 5² AC² = 25 + 25 AC² = 50 __ ____ __ _ _ AC = Ö50 = Ö25×2 = Ö25×Ö2 = 5Ö2 _ That's the first answer. So we label that green diagonal 5Ö2 Let's draw the cube's diagonal AB in green also Triangle ABC is a right triangle with right angle ACB. So we use the Pythagorean theorem to find AB AB² = AC² + BC² _ AB² = (5Ö2)² + 5² _ AB² = 5²(Ö2)² + 25 AB² = 25(2) + 25 AB² = 50 + 25 AB² = 75 __ ____ __ _ _ AB = Ö75 = Ö25×3 = Ö25×Ö3 = 5Ö3 Edwin
