The diagonal is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides of the square as legs. Let a=length of sides, d=diagonal:
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%5E2=a%5E2%2Ba%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d%5E2=2a%5E2\" Find the square root of each side.
\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%282a%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"d=sqrt%282%29a\"
\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: The diagonal is the square root of 2 times the side.
