As a square has right angles, the diagonal forms a right triangle with two of the sides of the square. Therefore use Pythagoras: diagonal² = side² + side² → diagonal² = 2side² → diagonal = side × √2 Therefore to find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the side length of a square by the square root of 2.
To find the side length of a cube with a volume of 8cm^3, you can use the formula for the volume of a cube, which is side length cubed. Therefore, you would take the cube root of the volume to find the side length. In this case, the cube root of 8cm^3 is 2cm, so the side length of the cube is 2cm.
Given the length of the diagonal of the square ... call it 'D units'. The area of the square is (1/2 D2) (same units)2.
It is the longest distance between two opposite corners of the square and it is possible to use Pythagoras' theorem to find the length of the diagonal
Diagonal = sqrt(36 + 25) ie sqrt 61 which is 7.8 inchesto the nearest tenth.
The longest diagonal in a cube is equal to the length of the edge, multiplied by the square root of 3.
find the cube root of 125(which is 5) is the length of one side do Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal 5squared plus 5 squared=50 square root of 50=7.07106781 is diagonal
The edge length of a cube with a diagonal of 9 ft is: 5.196 feet.
The diagonal will be 8.66 cm
If the diagonal is d thenV = [d/sqrt(3)]^3
12 inches = 1 foot. 240 inches = 20 feet. Use Pythagoras' theorem to find the diagonal of one of the faces of the cube. 2402+2402 = 115200. The square root of 115200 is 339.411255 Therefore the diagonal of the cube is 339.411255 inches or 339 inches correct to three significant figures Incidentally, by using the above answer and Pythagoras' theorem we can also work out the length of the longest internal diagonal within the cube which works out exactly as 340 inches.
Somehow I messed up andused 31 instead of 35 That is why you are receiving an improvement Do a Google search for Diagonal of a cube Find this website. mathcentral.uregina.ca/QQ/database/QQ.09.04/brett1.HTML - Draw a cube You will see how to find the diagonal of a cube. You use Pythagorean Theorem Draw a cube Label each side as s Draw the diagonal of the base of the cube Diagonal of base = (s^2 + s^2 )^0.5 Let the diagonal of the base be the horizontal side of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is the diagonal of the cube. The height of the cube is the vertical side of the right triangle whose hypotenuse is the diagonal of the cube. Now determine the length of the diagonal of the cube. (diagonal of base)^2 + (height of cube)^2 = (diagonal of cube )^2 Diagonal of base = (s^2 + s^2 )^0.5….Height of cube = s Use Pythagorean Theorem (diagonal of cube )^2 = (diagonal of base)^2 + (height of cube)^2 (diagonal of base)^2 = [(s^2 + s^2 )^0.5]^2 = s^2 + s^2 height of cube)^2 = s^2 (diagonal of cube)^2 = (s^2 + s^2 + s^2) (diagonal of cube )^2 = (3 * s^2) diagonal of cube = (3 * s^2)^0.5 = 35 (3 * s^2)^0.5 = 35 Square both sides 3s^2 = 31^2 = 1225 s^2 = 408.33 s = 40833^0.5 s = 20.2 cm
Divide the length of the diagonal of a square by 1.4142 (which is the square root of 2) to find the length of a side. Similarly, to find the length of the diagonal of a square, multiply the length of a side by 1.4142.
The length of the other diagonal works out as 12cm
Cool question ! Answer - half it then cube it to prove it - an example for you if cube diagonal (not square diagonal) is 100, then using pythagoras theorm the square diagonal = 70.71068, If square the square diagonal = 70.71068, then using pythagoras theorm the side length = 50 therefore the volume = 50 ^ 3 = 25000 units works with any numbers
if the cube is inside the sphere you needto do some trigonometry and algebra to find out the height or diameter of the sphere. I have never heard someone ask what the height of the sphere is... i didn't think it existed. im pretty sure you need to know the diameter of the sphere. since you didnt give me any numbers to work with this is going to be a confusing explanation. first, the length of the diameter of the sphere is the same length as the length of one corner of the cube to the opposite diagonal corner of the cube. second, you can find this length by applying pythagoreans theorem (a2+b2=c2). third, since you know the height of the cube you need to find the length of the diagonal of one surface of the cube. you can do this by cutting one ofthe surfaces ofthe cubes into a triangle and using the pyth. theorem and solve for the diagonal. remember this number. now take this number and use the pyth. theorem again with the height of the cube and then ythis is the diameter of the sphere.
No.
