S O L U T I O N:
Given that,
→ Diagonal of a square is 10√2 cm.
To Find: We have to find out the side of the square.
★ Let us assume that the side of the square is a cm. (See fig)
By Pythagoras Theorem,
→ Hypotenuse² = Height² + Base²
As all sides of a square are equal,
→ (10√2)² = a² + a²
→ 200 = 2a²
→ 2a² = 200
→ a² = 100
→ a = √100
→ a = ±10
As length of sides cannot be negative, so,
→ a = 10 cm.
★ Thus, the length of each side of the square is 10 cm.
A N S W E R:
- The length of each side of the square is 10 cm.
