Using Algebra and Phytagorean Theorem...
Let " a " be the length of the side, substituting 7
Green = a 2 Purple = ( a 2 ) 2 + a 2 = 2 a 2 + a 2 = 3 a 2
Substitute " a " with 7
3 ( 7 ) 2 = 3 ( 4 9 ) = 2 2 1 0 7 8 ∗ 3

Using Pythagorean Theorem
let y be the side of the cube, x be the diagonal of a face of the cube and a the diagonal of the cube.
y^2+y^2=x^2
2(y^2)=x^2
x^2+y^2=a^2
(2(y^2))+(y^2)=a^2
3(y^2)=a^2
a=y(sqrt(3))
a=7(sqrt(3))
Looking through the choices, only (sqrt((1078/3)x3)) is equal to (7(sqrt(3)))
so it's the answer
(sqrt((1078/3)x3))
