Answer: The b-value is the middle number, the number next to the X
Area of equilateral triangle = a^2/4 * √3 so side of triangle = a
but if area of equilateral triangle = area of square multiplied by √3 then area of square = a^2 / 4 so side of square = a/2
the ratio length of side triangle to length side of square = a: a/2 that means the side of triangle is doubled the side of square
answer
a) 2:1
<span>2 square root (x - 5) = 2. 2^2 (x -5) = 2^2. 4(x - 5) = 4. 4x - 20 = 4. 4x = 24. x = 6. This solution is not extraneous, because extraneous solutions emerge from solving the problem but are not actually valid solutions for the initial problem. With rounding, this solution is valid for the initial problem.</span>
No, they are both incorrect by my understanding of your question use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 =c^, therefore, 7^2 +x^2 = 13^2 or 49+x=169 then solve normally 169-49=120 √120 =5
The answer is 5
