Answer:
5[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonal divides the square into 2 right triangles.
let s be the side of the square with the diagonal being the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras' identity to one right triangle, gives
s² + s² = 10² , that is
2s² = 100 ( divide both sides by 2 )
s² = 50 ( take the square root of both sides )
s = [tex]\sqrt{50}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25(2)}[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] × [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] = 5[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]
