Answer:

22.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the answer.  You can form a triangle using sides AB, BE, and AE.  The length of AB is 20 cm.  The length of BE is 10 cm since it is half of a side.  Plug these values into the Pythagorean Theorem and solve for c.

a² + b² = c²

(20)² + (10)² = c²

400 + 100 = c²

500 = c²

√500 = c

c = 22.4 cm
