Answer:

which agrees with the first choice (A) in your list of possible answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the area of the outer square is given by the square of it side
.Then the outer area is given by: 
Now, the inner square's area we calculate by subtracting from the outer area four equal right angle triangles (those shaded in grey in the figure provided). Each of such right angle triangles have an area given by the general formula of a triangle's area:

Therefore the internal square's area is:

And then the quotient of this are over the larger square area becomes:

Answer: i dont know srry
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Well a simply way is to look at the problem as
Term 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 ----------------------------
Value | 9/2 | | | 6
There are 3 terms from 2 to 5 and the value increases 6 - 9/2 = 3/2 so the common difference is 3/2 divided by 3 so the common difference is 1/2 so to find the 3rd term add 1/2 to the 2nd term the pattern is each term is increasing by 1/2.. or 1/2 is added to the previous term. </span>
In step 3, you added 8x onto the other side instead of subtracting it from 15x.
