Answer:
square side is 7.071 cm or sqrt(50) cm
Step-by-step explanation:
you can use pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are equal sides of the square, and c is the diagonal length
since a = b, we can rewrite the equation as
a^2 + a^2 = c^2, where c = 10cm
2a^2 = 10^2
a^2 = 100/2
a = sqrt(50)
a= 7.071 or sqrt(50)

Answer:
draw a line horizontal line
draw line 45 degree to horizontal line of 10 cm,
bisect the 45 degree line
draw line perpendicular to 45 degree line at point of bisection
mark 5cm from point of bisection to each side
join these points
