Asked by Liz

The corners of a square lie on a circle of diameter 0.33 m. Each side of the square has length L. Find L.
Answered by Ms. Sue
The diameter of the circle is the hypotenuse of the two triangles formed in the square.

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find out the length of the sides.

Answered by Liz
How would i determine that with only one value?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Each side of the square is the same length.

Answered by Liz
Im still confused. Wouldnt each side just be 0.33 m then?
Answered by Ms. Sue
0.33 is the hypotenuse

See this rough sketch.
