Answer:

The measure of the diagonal is [tex]3\sqrt{6}\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

c -----> the diagonal of a square in units

a ----> the length side of a square

Remember that a square can be divided into two congruent right triangles

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

[tex]c^{2}=a^{2}+a^{2}[/tex]

we have

[tex]a=3\sqrt{3}\ units[/tex]

substitute

[tex]c^{2}=(3\sqrt{3})^{2}+(3\sqrt{3})^{2}[/tex]

[tex]c^{2}=54[/tex]

[tex]c=\sqrt{54}\ units[/tex]

simplify

[tex]c=3\sqrt{6}\ units[/tex]
