Solution


Given, length of diagonal = 10 cm

Suppose, the length of side of a square is x cm.

By using Pythagoras theorem,

(10)2 = x2 + x2

⇒ 100 = 2x2

⇒ x2 = 50

⇒ x = `sqrt(50)`  ...[Taking square root on both sides]

∴ x = `5sqrt(2)` cm

Hence, the length of the side of square is `sqrt(50)` or `5sqrt(2)` cm.
