Answer:
Approximately 13.1521 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the diagonal, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem.
Since the figure is a square, all four sides are equivalent. A square also has four right angles. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the diagonal d. Therefore:
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
Substitute 9.3 for a and b, and let c equal d:
[tex](9.3)^2+(9.3)^2=d^2[/tex]
Instead of squaring, add the like-terms:
[tex]2(9.3)^2=d^2[/tex]
Take the square root of both sides:
[tex]d=\sqrt{2(9.3)^2}[/tex]
Expand:
[tex]d=\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{(9.3)^2}[/tex]
The right cancels:
[tex]d=\sqrt2\cdot(9.3)\\d=9.3\sqrt2\\d\approx13.1521\text{ units}[/tex]
