Answer:
The length of one side of the square is approx 10.6 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ashley draws a square that has a diagonal of 15 centimeters.
As it is a square, it will have 4 sides equal.
Now when a diagonal is drawn using 2 sides of the square, then it will form a right triangle with 2 sides as (suppose x) and hypotenuse as 15.
Solving this question using Pythagoras formula we get:
\(x^{2} +x^{2} =15^{2}\)
=> \(2x^{2} =225\)
=> \(x^{2} =112.5\)
=> \(x=\sqrt{112.5}\)
x = 10.60
Hence, the length of one side of the square is approx 10.6 cm.
