quilt squares are cut on the diagonal to form triangular quilt pieces. the hypotenuse of the resulting triangles is 26 inches long. what is the side length of each piece?

a) 13 inches
b) 13 square root 2 inches
c) 13 square root 3 inches
d) 26 square root 2 inches

13 sqrt 2

sqrt 2 = 1.414213562373095 x 13 = 18.38477631085024

since they are squares, both sides are equal.

now to prove this, use the pythagorean theorem:

18.38477631085024^2 + 18.38477631085024^2 = c^2

676 = c^2

sqrt 676 = 26

therefore we got the correct amount! :)

final 13 sqrt 2

hope this helped u out and pls give me brainliest! <3
