The original side length was 12m therefore the perimeter was 36m. 12/4 is 3 so the perimeter is now 9, and the difference between them is 27.
Z = -2/3a
divide by -2/3 on both sides
a = z divided by -2/3
a = -3/2z
Answers:Part A: The value of x is 0.Part B: X can be any real number.
In Part A, you have to first evaluate 7^2. This is 49. Now, write the equation 49^x = 1. We know that if you raise any number to 0, then the answer is 1.
In Part B, you have to first evaluate 7^0, that is 1. Now, we have the equation 1^x = 1. In this case, 1 raised to any exponent is still only 1. Imagine 1^17, this would be 1 times itself 17 times or just 1.
Therefore any number will work in Part B.
So you can you the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.
if each side of the square is a certain length x, then the square is made up of two right triangles.
the sides adjacent to the right angle are length x while the hypoteneus is the diagonal whcih measures 36 feet.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + x^2 = 36^2
2x^2 = 1296
x^2 = 648
x = 25.456
area of a square = x^2 = 648 ft^2
