Question

Find the value of the question marks in the following diagrams.All of the shapes are rectangles but are not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Answer:

The square root of 2, or the (1/2)th power of 2, written in mathematics as √2 or 21⁄2, is the positive algebraic number that, when multiplied by itself, equals the number 2. Technically, it is called the principal square root of 2, to distinguish it from the negative number with the same property.

Geometrically the square root of 2 is the length of a diagonal across a square with sides of one unit of length; this follows the Pythagorean theorem. It was probably the first number known to be irrational.[citation needed]
