Solve the problem. A square playground has a white line drawn through its diagonal. This creates two triangles whose angle measures are 45°, 45°, and 90°. If the sides of the playground are 73 feet, use trigonometric functions to find the length, x, of the diagonal. 45° 45° 73 ft 45° 45° 73ft 103.2 ft 51.6 ft 42.1 ft 126.4 ft
