Use Pythagorean theorem\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\n" ); document.write( "C is the diagonal. Since we have a square, a = b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a^2 + a^2 = (8*sqrt(2))^2
\n" ); document.write( "2a^2 = 128
\n" ); document.write( "a^2 = 64
\n" ); document.write( "a = 8\r
