Answer:

5 × √2 or 7,071067811865475

Step-by-step explanation:

the diagonal of a square splits the square into 2 right triangles. So we can use Pythagorean's theorem.

where c is the hypotenuse. So the diagonal is the hypotenuse here, and thus c = 10. Now, since we are dealing with a square, all the sides are the same length, so a = b. So we have:

a² + a² = c²

2a² = 100

a² = 50

a = √50

a = 5 × √2 or 7,071067811865475
