Answer:

Side of the square paper = 21 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the square paper is having measure of each side = a inches

Esther cut this square piece into two pieces.

Let the other side of one rectangle piece = x inches

Perimeter of this piece = 2(a + x) inches

Similarly dimensions of the other rectangular piece will be = a inches × (a - x) inches

Perimeter of this piece = 2[a + (a - x)]

Since both the rectangular pieces have the same perimeter = 63

So, 2(a + x) = 2[a + (a - x)] = 63

2(a + x) = 2(2x - x)

a + x = 2a - x

2a - a = 2x

a = 2x

x = \frac{a}{2}

Therefore, Perimeter = 2(a + x) = 2(a + \frac{a}{2}) = 63

2\times \frac{3a}{2} = 63

3a = 63

a = 21

Therefore, measure of the sides of the square is 21 inches.

What is the solution to the inequality below x2&gt;25​
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Ans: (-5, 5)

-5 < x < 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form: f(x) = x^2 - 25 < 0.

First solve x^2 - 25 = 0 --> x = +- 5

Use the algebraic method to solve f(x) < 0. Between the 2 real roots (-5) and (5), f(x) < 0, as opposite in sign to a = 1.

Answer by open interval: (-5, 5)
