Answer:
Sides: 6 cms
Diagonal: 8.49 cms
Step-by-step explanation:
In a square the possible measurements to calculate are its sides and its diagonal, therefore we calculate both:
The perimeter of a square is calculated as the sum of its four sides. This is defined as a figure that has four equal sides, then:
4/24 = 6
Therefore each side measures 6 cm.
For the diagonal, we use pythagoras since it corresponds to the hypotenuse of a right triangle that is formed by drawing the diagonal:
c ^ 2 = a ^ 2 + b ^ 2
c ^ 2 = 6 ^ 2 + 6 ^ 2
c ^ 2 = 36 + 36 = 72
c = 72 ^ (1/2)
c = 8.49
What the diagonal means is 8.49 cm.
