The diagonal of a square measures 4 inches. What is the length of the sides?
\n" ); document.write( "let x = side of the square
\n" ); document.write( "Pythag
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + x^2 = 4^2
\n" ); document.write( "2x^2 = 16
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 8
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%288%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%284%2A2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"2%2Asqrt%282%29\" ~ 2.828 inches length of the sides
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
