That would be the square root of 4 squared plus 4 squared.

to find the length of the diagonal, think of the piece of the square as a triangle (since the square is cut diagonally, it makes a triangle)
You are looking to find the length of the hypotenuese.
use a^2+b^2=c^2 with the sides as a and b
4^2 + 4^2 = c^2
32=c^2
take the square root of both sides to find c:
2^5=c^2
c= 4*squareroot(2)
the length is: 4*squareroot(2) ft

first of all steph lenngth of a line is not defined...
but in any case length of the line segment=
4 * 2^1/2.
now as the triangle formed is isosceles and right angled.
it's angles r 90,45,45.
sin45 = length of side(s)/length of hypotenuse(h)
h=s/sin45 =4/(1/2^1/2) = 4*2^1/2.
cheers!!!!!!!!!
