Answer:
The diagonal length of the desk is 7.42462120246 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is a square then all sides are equal which means we can easily formulate the pythagorean theorem on the diagonal length of the desk.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
A and B are the same (width and length) since it is a square.
5.25^2 + 5.25^2 = c^2
27.5625 + 27.5625 = c^2
55.125 = c^2
Put c^2 under a square root (apply to both sides)
square root of 55.125 = 7.42462120246 = c
