The diagonal of a square is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs that are two sides of the square.


a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is the Pythagorean Theorem, which relates the length of the legs of a right triangle (a and b) to the length of the hypotenuse (c).


25^2 + 25^2 = c^2


2*25^2 = c^2


. 35 is the answer rounded to a whole number.
