As you can see from the diagram, I’ve drawn two lines from P perpendicular to the
sides of the square. By the Pythagorean Theorem, we have three equations:
q2 + t2 = 16
r2 + t2 = 36
r2 + s2 = 25

Now DP2=q2+s2.
We can find this value by adding [1] and [3]and subtracting from [2]:
q2+s2 =(q2+t2) +(r2+s2) −(r2+t2) = 16 + 25 – 36
q2+s2= 5
