Find the length of a side of the
square shown below.
X
2
Х
= [?]

Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity in the lower right triangle.
x² + x² = ([tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] )²
2x² = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 1 ( take square root of both sides )
x = [tex]\sqrt{1}[/tex] = 1
