The older square-shaped floppy diskettes measured 5 inches on each side. What was the diagonal length of a diskette?

A. √ 50 in.
B. √ 55 in.
C. √ 51 in.
D. √ 58 in.

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, diskette is of square shape.

Therefore, length of diagonal of a square shaped diskette is given as:

[tex]length \: of \: diagonal \: of \: diskette \\ = \sqrt{2} \times side \: of \: diskette \\ = \sqrt{2} \times 5 \\ = 5 \sqrt{2} \\ = \sqrt{ {5}^{2} \times 2 } \\ = \sqrt{25 \times 2} \\ = \sqrt{50} \: inches[/tex]

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
