The length is the square root of two, about 1.414 inches. By the Pythagoras theorem, the diagonal of the square is the hypotenuse of the angle formed by any two connected sides. And sq rt (12 + 12) = sq rt 2
Use Pythagoras on the triangle formed by two adjacent sides and the diagonal between their other ends: diagonal = √(122 + 122) = 12 x √2 ~= 16.97 units
A square has only four sides. However, if the question has a typo and means 12 inch sides, then the answer follows: 12 x 12 = 144 / 2 = 72 in2
Two on top of two or two next to two. You want to create a square with 12 inch sides.
The diagonal is about 16.97 inches long.
