Question

Choose the correct alternative:

If the length of diagonal of square is √2, then what is the length of each side?

Options

  • 2

  • √3

  • 1

  • 4

MCQ

Solution

1

Let ABCD be the given square.

In ∆ABC,

∠B = 90°

∴ AC2 = AB2 + BC2     ...[Pythagoras theorem]

∴ (√2)2 = AB2 + AB2     ...[Sides of the square]

∴ 2 = 2AB2

∴ AB2 = 1

∴ AB = 1 unit
