Using Pythagoras' theorem the diagonal is 16 times the square root of 2
The length of one side of a square with a 16-centimeter diagonal is: 11.31 cm
16*sqrt(2) = 22.627 (to 3 dp).
If you take the square of the long side and add it to the square of the short side, you get the diagonal (hypotenuse) squared. Then just find square root of that. For example, if short side is 3cm and long side is 4cm: 9 + 16 = 25, so the diagonal would be the square root of 25 ie. 5.
14 The ratio of the side of a square to the diagonal is 1.4.

The length of one side of a square with a 16-centimeter diagonal is: 11.31 cm
It is 16*sqrt(2) feet.
Oh, what a happy little question! To find the side length of a square with a diagonal of 16, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. Since the diagonal, side length, and side length form a right triangle, we can use the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the side lengths and c is the diagonal. In this case, we have 2 sides of the square equal to each other, so we can simplify the equation to 2a^2 = 16^2. Solving this, we find that the side length of the square is 8.

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.
The diagonal of a square is not perpendicular to its side. The diagonal of a square will separate the square into two triangles. The diagonal goes from one corner to the opposite corner. Because it is a square, the diagonal and a side of the square will always form a 45-degree angle.
14 The ratio of the side of a square to the diagonal is 1.4.
Each side is 4. The diagonal is 5.66 and the area is 16 square units.
The diagonal of a square 2.0 meters on a side is: 2.828 meters.
side of a square is diagonal / 21/2
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.
