Answer:
The length of the diagonal is 11.879 units
Step-by-step explanation:
On any rectangle or square, any 2 adjacent sides and the diagonal that connects them makes a right triangle. The diagonal is the hypotenuse of that right triangle, and you can find it using the pythagorean theorem:
[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]
where a and b are the sides, and c is the diagonal.
[tex]\rightarrow8.4^2+8.4^2=c^2\\\rightarrow70.56+70.56=c^2\\\rightarrow c^2=141.12\\\rightarrow c\approx11.879[/tex]
