<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The area of the given square is equal to 12.5cm^{2}

Area=12.5cm^{2}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To solve the problem, we don't need to calculate the length of the sides of the square. We are given the diagonal length of the square, so using the following formula, we can calculate the are of the square without knowing the sides:

Area=\frac{diagonal^{2} }{2}

So, substituting we have:

Area=\frac{(5cm)^{2} }{2}=\frac{25cm^{2} }{2}=12.5cm^{2}

Hence, we have that the area of the given square is equal to 12.5cm^{2}

Have a nice day!

Answer:

Area of square = 12.48 cm^2  

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the square has all sides equal, and when diagonal is made, square form two right angled triangles. Using Pythagoras theorem we can find the length of side of the square.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where c = 5cm and a==b (square has all sides equal)

Putting value of b = a

(5)^2 = a^2 + a^2\\25 = 2 a^2\\25/2 = a^2\\=> a^2 = 12.5\\ => \sqrt{a^2} = \sqrt{12.5}\\=> a = 3.53\, cm

So, length of side of square = 3.53

Area of square = (3.53)^2

Area of square = 12.48 cm^2.

Tom jogged 3/5 on Monday and 2/6 mile on Tuesday. How much farther did Tom jog on Monday than on Tuesday
natali 33 [55]
You will want to subtract the amount he ran on Monday from the amount on Tuesday. In order to subtract fractions, we must set them to the same denominator (bottom number). In order to do this, we must multiply 3/5 by 6/6 (the denominator on tuesday) which gets us 18/30. Then, for Tuesday, we must multiply 2/6 by 5/5 (the denominator on Monday) which is 10/30. Now, we can do Monday-Tuesday, 18/30-10/30 which gets us 8/30, if we simplify this, we get 4/15 :)

An amphitheatre has 24 seats in the first​ row, 28 in the​ second, 32 in the​ third, and so​ on, for 29 rows. How many seats are
melomori [17]
The answer is 2,320 seats in the amphitheater. Since the seats are increasing at a rate of 4 more seats each row, then just add 4 to the number for each past row starting at 32 since that's where the rest is unknown. Once you find all he numbers just add them up to get your answer.
I hope I helped!

Current government spending to fund public schools is about 6×1011 dollars per year. The average cost nationally for a student t
NeX [460]

60000000 students can attend public schools with the current funding

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Current government spending to fund public schools is about 6 \times 10^{11} dollars per year

The average cost nationally for a student to attend a public school for a year is about $10,000

To find: number of students can attend public schools with the current funding

\text{ current funding } = 6 \times 10^{11} \text{ dollars}

\text{ average cost for 1 student } = 10000 \text{ dollars }

Therefore,

\text{ number of students } = \frac{\text{ current funding }}{\text{ average cost of 1 student}}

Substituting the values we get,

\text{ number of students } = \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10000}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10000} = \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10^4}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{6 \times 10^{11}}{10^4} = 6 \times 10^{11-4} = 6 \times 10^7\\\\\rightarrow 6 \times 10^7 = 60000000

Thus 60000000 students can attend public schools with the current funding
