What is the length of a side of a square whose diagonal measures 4?
Designate the length by L. From the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the diagonal of a square, which divides the square into two right triangles, each with sides L (and the diagonal as hypotenuse to each right triangle), is square root of 2L2 = 4 (from the problem statement). Squaring both sides separately yields 2L2 = 16 or L = square root of 8 = 2 (square root of 2).
suppose you want to prove the isosceles triangle theorem by proving that JKL?

If A and B are two points in the plane the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB is the set of all points equidistant from A and B?
Let us consider a line l such that it is the perpendicular bisector of line segment AB and the line intersects at point C.Let us take any point on line l(say, D). Join A to D and B to D.Now we have two triangles ACD and BCD.Now, in triangles ACD & BCD, we haveCD = CD (Common side)�ACD = �BCD (Right angle)AC = BC (Since l bisects AB)According to Side-Angle-Side criteria: Both triangles are congruent.Since both triangles are congruent, therefore AD = BD.So, l is the set of all points equidistant from A & B.Hence proved.

What is the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle whose side has a length of four?
The altitude/height of an equilateral triangle can be calculated by taking the perpendicular bisector of any side. This line will bisect its opposite angle forming two congruent right angled triangles. The side length of the original equilateral triangle is the hypotenuse and the short leg of right angled triangle is half the hypotenuse. By Pythagoras' Theorem : 42 = 22 + L2.........where L is the length of the altitude. L2 = 42 - 22 = 16 - 4 = 12 L = √12 = 2√3 = 3.464 (3dp)
