The vertical of three squares are joined to form a right triangle , what is the area of the largest square

Answer:
43cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
let's first consider the area of a square.
the area is L² which means all sides are equal so we take the length times the breadth which is both equal because like we said all sides are equal.
so to find the side of the square using the area, we take the square root of both of the area.
and also
so we have the height of the triangle as 5cm and the base is 4.2cm.
now, from the triangle, since we have two sides and it's a right-angled, we can use Pythagoras' formula.
so the side 6.53cm is also the same side as the largest triangle. Since it's a square, all sides are equal. So we find the area of the largest triangle by using the formula
Area = L²
Area = 6.53²
Area = 42.6cm
the nearest cm square
Area = 43cm²

Answer:
The correct option is O B'
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a quadrilateral with vertices A, B, C and D. A line of reflection is drawn so that A is 6 units away from the line, B is 4 units away from the line, C is 7 units away from the line and D is 9 units away from the line.
Now we perform the reflection and we obtain a new quadrilateral A'B'C'D'.
In order to apply the reflection to the original quadrilateral ABCD, we perform the reflection to all of its points, particularly to its vertices.
Wherever we have a point X and a line of reflection L and we perform the reflection, the new point X' will keep its original distance from the line of reflection (this is an important concept in order to understand the exercise).
I will attach a drawing with an example.
Finally, we only have to look at the vertices and its original distances to answer the question.
The vertice that is closest to the line of reflection is B (the distance is 4 units). We answer O B'
