The side of a square is a cm. The ratio of its diagonal to its side is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
Let us consider that ,
Side of square = x
And diagonal = d
By using pythagoras theorem
h² = p² + b²
d² = x² + x²
d² = 2x²
d = x√2
Now, ratio of its diagonal to its side is = x√2 : x
= √2 : 1
