HI!!

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Use Pythagoras theorem when you have a right triangle, with length of hypotenuse C and legs A and B. \(C = \sqrt{A^2+B^2}\) When A=B, this simplifies to \(C = \sqrt{A^2+B^2}=\sqrt{A^2+A^2}=A\sqrt{2}\) An example is shown below: |dw:1421785317084:dw|

hey!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

to find the diagonal of a square, multiply the side by \(\sqrt 2\)

OpenStudy (misty1212):

|dw:1421785559150:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or D

OpenStudy (mathmate):

To help clarify: \(\sqrt{a\times b}=\sqrt a \times \sqrt b\) Example: \(\sqrt{10}=\sqrt{5\times 2}=\sqrt 5 \times \sqrt 2\) while \(\sqrt{a^2\times b}=\sqrt {a^2} \times \sqrt b=a\times \sqrt b\) Example \(\sqrt{50}=\sqrt{25\times 2}=\sqrt {5^2} \times \sqrt 2=5\times \sqrt 2\)
