The diagonal and one side of a square are x and y units respectively. Find an expression for y in terms of x
A
\(y=\frac{x}{2}\)
B
\(y\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}\)
C
\(y=\sqrt{x}\)
D
\(y=\sqrt{\frac{x}{2}}\)
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
diagonal of a square(x) = y\sqrt2
y in terms of x →
y = \(\frac{x}{\sqrt2}\)
