By Pythagoreans' theorem,

7.5² = l² × b²
56.25 = l² × b²

Since l = b
56.25 ÷ 2
= l²/b²
= 28.125 mm

∴ l = √28.125
= 5.3033 mm

Area of square
= √28.125 × √28.125
= 28.125 mm²
≈ 28.1 mm² (3s.f.)

How can you solve problems involving equivalent expressions?
jarptica [38.1K]
<span>Setting expressions equal to one another gives us an equation.

In an equation, our goal is to isolate the variable; we must "undo" everything that has been done to the variable. We work backward; the last thing done to the variable will be the first thing we undo.

We "undo" things by performing the opposite operation; for instance, if the last thing done to our variable was that 3 was subtracted from it, we would undo that first by adding 3 to both sides.

What we do to one side we must do to the other in order to preserve equality.

We would continue this process of working backward until the variable was isolated; this would give us our solution.</span>

Edward wants to determine which skateboarder won a race. The actual time taken by four skateboarders to skate the same distance
iogann1982 [59]
Skateboarder B. 4.24 will show as a different time since the stopwatch rounds to the nearest tenth and to round up it has to be 0.5+ and to round down you need 0.4 or below and in this case Skateboarder B. has a time of 4.24 thus it has a different time than the other times.

I Hope this helped you!

A model rocket was launched from the ground and shot 150 feet straight up.It then fell back down to the ground and landed in the
Elena L [17]
The list of choices you included doesn't have any correct expressions on it.

-- If the rocket went straight up, and then dropped back at the same place
it was launched from, then it must have dropped straight down.

-- The route it followed on the way down was exactly the same as the
route it followed on the way up.

-- Since it reached a maximum height of 150-ft from the ground
and the route was straight, the length of the route was 150-ft.

-- (150-ft going up) plus (150-ft coming down)  =  300-ft traveled all together.

The bird population on an island is declining at a rate of 2.2% per year. If the population was 3500 in the year 2009, which is
Vinil7 [7]
Given:
2009 : 3,500 population
decrease of 2.2% per year. 
100% - 2.2% = 97.8%

2014 - 2009 = 5 years

3,500 * (0.978)^5 = 3,500 * 0.89473 = 3131.57

The bird population in 2014 will be 3,131.57 or 3,132.

isolate the variable.

-49 - 9 <_ 9 - 2x - 9

-58 <_-2x

-58/-2 <_-2x/-2

When dividing or multiplying by negatives, flip the sign.

-58/-2 <_-2x/-2

29 >_ x

x <_ 29

x is less than or equal to 29
