Asked by Joana Poepana
"Which special version of the Pythagorean Theorem can you use to find the
length of any square's diagonal, d, using only the length of its side, s?"
I have no idea what this means, I saw a question like this in another question but didn't quite understand please help!
And please don't rat me out if you somehow find out who I am to my school-
They'll friggin kick me out-
Thanks!

the square's diagonal is the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle
... the two perpendicular sides are the same length
s^2 + s^2 = h^2 ... 2 s^2 = h^2 ... s√2 = h
find the diagonal by multiplying the side by √2
