The corners of a square lie on a circle of diameter D = 0.43 m. The side of the square has a length L. Find L.
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a diagnol from one corner of the square to the opposite corner. This diagnol is equal to the diameter D=0.43 m, and is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with equal legs of L.
\n" ); document.write( "By Pythagroean Theorem:
\n" ); document.write( ".43^2=L^2+L^2=2L^2
\n" ); document.write( "L^2=.43^2/2=.0925
\n" ); document.write( "L=√.0925
\n" ); document.write( "L=.3041 \n" ); document.write( "
