11sqrt(2)

Explanation:

The formula for the diagonal of a square is:

d = s sqrt(2)

In this formula, d represents the diagonal and s represents a side length. Since we already have the length of the diagonal, we can substitute it for d and solve for s:

22/sqrt(2) = (s sqrt(2))/sqrt(2)

22/sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)/sqrt(2) = s

(22sqrt(2))/2 = s

11sqrt(2) = s
