How long would the line be in inches if you were to draw a line down the center of a 36×36 square?

Center diaganol measurement of a 36 inch square?

36√2 inches

√2=1.414 roughly
so

50.9 in. (approx)

    Pythagoreas equation h^2 = a^2 + b^2 lets you find the length of the hypotenuse for any right triangle. That’s what you’re after, with both other sides bing 36".

    Pythagoras theorem.
    You would have built a right-angled triangle with two sides of 36 inches.

    Diagonal = square root of (36^2 + 36^2) = 50.91… inches

    The easiest way to do this problem is to turn it into 2 triangles, Its a right triangle, so you know 36^2+36^2 = C^2, so just add the figures and take the sqroot(C^2) to get your answer.

    diaganal = squareroot (36^2 + 36^2)
    ~= 50.91 inches

    Roughly 50.91 inches. Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

    36^2 + 36^2 = x^2

    x = square root of 2592
