Two squares Two squares side by side

10 cm 10 cm 20 cm

Forming rectangle

Diagonal of the rectangle (hypotenuse)

Using Pythagorean Theorem: Diagonal = 400 2 + 100 2

Diagonal (Hypotenuse) = 2 + 2 Diagonal = 500 2

Diagonal = (20 )2 + (10 )2 Diagonal = 100 2 (5)

Diagonal = (20 )2 + (10 )2 Diagonal =
