What is the length of the diagonal of a cube of side 7 cm 7 \text { cm} ?

1078 22 × 7 \sqrt{\frac{1078}{22} \times 7} 1078 22 × 3 \sqrt{\frac{1078}{22} \times 3} 1078 22 × 27 \sqrt{\frac{1078}{22} \times 27} 1078 22 × 9 \sqrt{\frac{1078}{22} \times 9}

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))

Using Algebra and Phytagorean Theorem...

Let " a a " be the length of the side, substituting 7 7

Green = a 2 a\sqrt{2} Purple = ( a 2 ) 2 + a 2 = 2 a 2 + a 2 = 3 a 2 \sqrt{(a\sqrt{2})^2+a^2}=\sqrt{2a^2 + a^2}=\sqrt{3a^2}

Substitute " a a " with 7

3 ( 7 ) 2 = 3 ( 49 ) = 1078 22 3 \sqrt{3(7)^2}=\sqrt{3(49)}=\sqrt{\frac{1078}{22} * 3}
