To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s²

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) = 3

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c² = a² + b²
c² = 3² + 3²
c² = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 12π

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
