Greetings!
We can use the Pythagorean Thereon to solve for the diagonal: [tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
Input the information into the formula:
[tex]12^2+12^2=c^2[/tex]
Simplify.
[tex]144+144=c^2[/tex]
[tex]288=c^2[/tex]
Find the Square Root.
[tex] \sqrt288= \sqrt c^2[/tex]
The Answer Is:
[tex]16.97=c[/tex]
The diagonal would be 16.97 cm long.
Hope this helps.
