MSTN is a square. Find ST.

Question

Answer 1

if MT is a diagonal of the square = 7sqr2

and ST = a side of the square then ST= 7

a square's side is the diagonal divided by square root of 2

7sqr2/sqr2 = 7 = MT

Use the Pythagorean theorem

diagonal squared = one side squared plus another side squared

d^2 = s^2 + s^2 = 2s^2

d = s(sqr2)

7sqr2 = s(sqr2

s = 7
