If the area of a square is multiplied by 16, the area becomes 25 square inches. Find the length x of a side of the square.

1 answer:

8 0

1.25 is the length x of a side of the square. Think about it like this. Divide 25 by 16 and you get 1.5625. Then, you do that number squared. So, √1.5625. That gives you 1.25. Hope that helps! Good luck!

If EF=2x-5, FG=3x-6, and EG=19 find the values of x, EF, and FG. The drawing is not to scale.

Tom [10]

EG is the whole thing.
This means that EF + FG = EG

EF=2x-5
FG=3x-6
EG=19

Now all you do is plug in the numbers.
(2x - 5) + (3x - 6) = 19
5x - 11 = 19
5x = 30
x = 6

Now plug that x into EF and FG.
EF = 2x - 5
EF = 2(6) - 5
EF = 12 - 5
EF = 7

FG = 3x - 6
FG = 3(6) - 6
FG = 18 - 6
FG = 12

So your answers are:
x = 6
EF = 7
FG = 12
d. x = 6, EF = 7, FG = 12
