you are making a mosic desig on a square table top. Yuo have already covered half of the table top with 150 1 inch square tile pieces.
what are the dimensions of the table top?
---
Total table area = 300 sq in
----
since it's a square the dimensions are equal
width = length = sqrt(300) = sqrt(100*3) = 10sqrt(3) inches
------------------------------------
what is the measure of the diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner of the table top?
Use Pythagoras to get:
diag = sqrt[(sqrt(300))^2 + (sqrt(300))^2] = sqrt(600)= 10sqrt(6)
