This is a square with area 36 in^2
So dimensions are 6 * 6 ins and perimeter = 24 ins.
Answer:
0.25 pounds of candy
Step-by-step explanation:
3.5 divided by 14 is 0.25
Answer:
2i-3
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x+3)²=-8
(x+3)²=-4
x+3=2i
x=2i-3
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
