Problem:
Find the lengths of sides of a square table whose diagonal is 180 inches
Given:
diagonal = 180 inches
Required:
length of the side of a square table
Solution:
the characteristic of the square is that all of its 4 sides are equal
by using Pythagorean theorem,
Let x be the side of the square
c² = a² + b²
180² = x² + x²
32400 = 2x²
16200 = x²
x = √16200
x = 127.28 inches
Answer:
length of the side of a square table = 127.28 inches
