Answer:
9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
diagonal of a square can be considered a the hypotenuse of 2 triangles in it
so we take any one of the two triangles and use pythagoras theorem
let the side of square be x
By pythagoras theorem
side² + side² = Hypotenuse²
⇒ x² + x² = (9√2)²
⇒2x² = 81 ×2
⇒ x² = 81 ( reducing 2 from both sides)
⇒ x = √81
x = ±9
So the side of square = ±9
But,
Length cannot be negative so
SIDE OF SQUARE = 9 cm
