Algebra.Com's Answer #149722 by checkley77(12844)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! First you find the diagonal of one side. \n" ); document.write( "10^2+10^2=d^2 \n" ); document.write( "100+100=d^2 \n" ); document.write( "d^2=200 \n" ); document.write( "d=sqrt200 \n" ); document.write( "d=14.14 \n" ); document.write( "Now you have a right triangle with a short side= 10, a lomg side=14.14 & the cube diagonal as the hypotenuse: \n" ); document.write( "10^2+14.14^2=d^2 \n" ); document.write( "100+200=d^2 \n" ); document.write( "d^2=300 \n" ); document.write( "d=sqrt300 \n" ); document.write( "d=17.32 for the length of the diagonal of the cube. \n" ); document.write( " |
