Question 71

The diagonal of a square measures $$6\sqrt{2}$$ cm. The measure of the diagonal of a square whose area is twice that of the first square is:

Solution

Let's assume the side of the first and secondĀ squares areĀ $$a_1\ and\ a_2$$ respecively.

The diagonal of a square measures $$6\sqrt{2}$$ cm.

$$\sqrt{2}a_1 =Ā 6\sqrt{2}$$

$$a_1=6$$Ā  Ā  Eq.(i)

As given in the question,Ā the area of the secondĀ square is twice the firstĀ square.

$$2\times\ a_1\times a_1=a_2\times a_2$$

PutĀ  Eq.(i) in the above equation.

$$6\times6\times2\ =a_2\times a_2$$

$$a_2=6\sqrt{\ 2}$$

diagonal of theĀ second square =Ā $$\sqrt{\ 2}a_2 = \sqrt{\ 2}\timesĀ 6\sqrt{\ 2}$$

= 12 cm
