108.89 inches

Explanation:

the diagonal of the square measures 154 inches.
let the sides be s.
we know that the diagonal of square is the hypotenuse of isoscles right angled triangle.
so according to pythagoras theorom
#hypoten use ^2 = height^2+base^2#
#154^2 = s^2+s^2#

#23716 =2s^2#
#s^2=23716/2#
#s^2=11858#
#s=sqrt11858#
#s=108.89 i nches#
