Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the given squares are

Area = 64 in

Area = 225 in

Area = 289 in

The length of each side of a square is determined by finding the square root of its area. For the first square, the length of its side is √64 = 8inches. For the second square, the length of its side is √225 = 15inches. For the third square, the length of its side is √289 = 17inches.

For a right angle triangle to be formed, Pythagorean theorem must be obeyed. Sum of the square of the smaller sides must equal the square of the longer side. Therefore,

8² + 15² = 17²

289 = 289

Therefore, the correct statement is

Yes, a right triangle can be formed because the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares equals the area of the largest square

Solve for x 4x−13=2x+9
Sonbull [250]

4x - 13 = 2x + 9

Add 13 to each side

4x = 2x + 22

Subtract 2x from both sides

2x = 22

Divide both sides by 2

x = 11

What times what equals 252
V125BC [204]
Let the what be represented with x.

So what times what = 252

         x*x = 252

         x²  = 252              Take the square root of both sides

         √x²  = √252              Use your calculator

            x =  15.875

The what is 15.875
