What is the length of side s of the square shown below?

3√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagoras says s²+s²=6²

so

2s² = 36

s = √18 = √9·2 = √3²·2 = 3√2

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal splits the square into 2 right triangles with hypotenuse 6

Using Pythagoras' identity in one of the right triangles.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, that is

s² + s² = 6²

2s² = 36 ( divide both sides by 2 )

s² = 18 ( take the square root of both sides )

s = = = × = 3 → C
