Answer 1

Do you see the problem with your question? Was there supposed to be a graphic showing a board or something?

Answer 2

I think one must be clairvoyant to answer this. My crystal ball is hazy today.

Answer 3

Yes and ??

Answer 4

Wait are you a teacher?

Answer 5

Both Writeacher and I are tutors on this site. It appears to us that there just isn't enough information to answer your question. Perhaps one of the physics/math profs will prove us wrong. We'll see!

Answer 6

We need to know the length of a side of the square and does the diagonal go from one corner to the opposite corner or just cut off a corner of a corner?
If the side length is s and it goes from the northeast corner to the southwest corner the the length is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides s.
h = sqrt(s^2 + s^2) = s sqrt 2

Answer 7

Or in other words we need to be cleaning our crystal ball because we don't know any of those details.

Answer 8
