You can put this solution on YOUR website! The diagonal would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed by two sides of the square and the diagonal(a line from two corners that do not form a side).
using the formula for the hypotenuse
a^2+b^2=c^2
where a=b and c=24 sqrt2
a^2+a^2=c^2
combine
2a^2=24^2*2
divide both sides by 2
a^2=24^2
get the square root of both sides
a=24
