If it is a square, then the sides are the same. Use Pythagoras:
A2 + B2 = C2 (2 = Squared).
A2 + B2 = 10.6 x 10.6
Side squared = (10.6 x 10.6)/2
Side = Root((10.6 x 10.6)/2)
=7.499998785, or 7.5
Well, did I pass?

Pythagoras (c2 = a2 + b2)
10.6066 * 10.6066 = 112.49996356
Divide 112.49996356 by 2 and find the square root of the remaining number.
112.49996356 / 2 = 56.24998178
Sqr Rt 56.24998178 = 7.4999987853332349723099958111013
Length of each side is equal to 7.499 (7.5)

If l is the side of the squareby Pythagoras
d^2 = 2 *l^2
so l= d/sqrt(2)
in your case it would be 7.5

Use Pythagorus.
If x is the side of the square then
x^2 + x^2 = 10.6066^2
Then solve to get
x = 7.5

Take a stab at the problem, and we'll tell you if it's right.
Hint: do you know the equations for a right triangle?
Good luck.
