Answer 3

is it a square?

Answer 4

yes..doesnt it look like one?

Answer 5

oh I so missed the congruent lines

Answer 6

45*sqrt(2)=63.64

Answer 7

this is all it gave me, but i think the sides are all equal

Answer 8

so now, cool thing about the diagonal in a square, It is a bisector of the angles, so now, what type of triangle do you have?

Answer 9

diagonal of a square with equal sides is a*sqrt(2). Since a=45 the answer is 45*sqrt(2)

Answer 10

It's nice to not have to memorize the formula, if you stay with me for 1 more minute, we can get that formula

Answer 11

oh so then it would be 63.64

Answer 12

the little lines on the side of the square means that all the sides are equal

Answer 13

yea i know that

Answer 14

I would mark that wrong personally but you can say the answer is approximately 63.64

Answer 15

why would it be wrong?

Answer 16

because the square root of 2 is irrational and should be left as is for an exact answer

Answer 17

also, they showed no work, so I wouldn't give credit there either

Answer 18

ok so can you please explain and show ur work so i can understand

Answer 19

ok, so what is the measure of the angles of a square?

Answer 20

45

Answer 21

a right angle is 45 degrees?

Answer 22

oh no sorry right angle is 90 degrees

Answer 23

cool, ok so the nice thing about a square is that there is a special property with it's diagonal, the diagonal bisects the angles.

Answer 24

Can you label what the bisected angle's measure is?

Answer 25

that means, it splits it into two equal parts

Answer 26

i know there equal but dont know the measure, shouldnt it be 45

Answer 27

it is, because what is 90 divided by two?

Answer 28

45
