To find the length of the diagonal of a square using the Pythagorean theorem, you can use the formula:

\[ d = \sqrt{s^2 + s^2} \]

where \(d\) is the diagonal and \(s\) is the length of a side of the square.

Since the responses provided seem to suggest values, assuming the side length \(s = 4\):

\[ d = \sqrt{4^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{16 + 16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2} \]

Using a calculator or by estimating \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414\):

\[ d \approx 4 \times 1.414 = 5.656 \]

So, rounded to the nearest hundredth, the diagonal is approximately 5.66.

If a different side length was intended, please specify, and I can redo the calculations accordingly. However, among the options provided, none seem to match this calculation exactly.

If we instead assume the side length is 2:

\[ d = \sqrt{2^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{4 + 4} = \sqrt{8} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2 \times 1.414 = 2.828 \]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this gives us approximately 2.83.

If we assume a side length of 8:

\[ d = \sqrt{8^2 + 8^2} = \sqrt{64 + 64} = \sqrt{128} = 8\sqrt{2} \approx 8 \times 1.414 = 11.312 \]

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, this gives us approximately 11.31.

The answers you're likely looking for are:

  • For a side length of 4: 5.66
  • For a side length of 2: 2.83 (which matches one of your response options)
  • For a side length of 8: 11.31 (not matching provided options)

Based on the closest match from the responses provided, the answer would be 2.83.

Yes, to accurately calculate the length of the diagonal of a square using the Pythagorean theorem, we need the measurement of the side length of the square. The formula for finding the diagonal \(d\) is:

\[ d = s\sqrt{2} \]

where \(s\) is the length of one side of the square.

If you provide the side length of the square, I can help calculate the diagonal length for you!

To find the length of the diagonal of a shape made by the points A (1, 2), B (3, 2), C (3, 4), and D (1, 4), we can first plot these points and see that they form a square.

Next, we can determine the length of one side of the square. From points A to B, the coordinates are:

  • A (1, 2)
  • B (3, 2)

The length of side \(AB\) can be calculated as:

\[ \text{Length of AB} = \text{distance} = x_2 - x_1 = 3 - 1 = 2 \]

Now, using this side length of the square, we can find the diagonal \(d\):

\[ d = s\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2} \]

Calculating \(2\sqrt{2}\):

\[ d \approx 2 \times 1.414 = 2.828 \]

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the length of the diagonal is approximately 2.83.

This matches the response option provided earlier!
