w - width

6w - length

486 in² - area of the rectangle

(w)(6w) = 6w² - area of the rectangle

The equation:

6w² = 486 <em>divide both sides by 6</em>

w² = 81 → w = √81

w = 9 in

l = 6w → l = (6)(9) → l = 54 in

The perimeter: P = 2l + 2w

P = 2(54) + 2(9) = 108 + 18 = 126 in

<h3>Answer: The perimeter is 126in</h3>

Ratling [72]

Answer:

8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok lets on the biggest square we have 17 cm

17cm is the hypotenuse for the right triangle

The second largest's area is 225 cm^2

Sq root of 225 cm^2, is 15

To find x, lets plug the info we have to the pythagorean theorom

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\a^2 + 15^2 = 17^2\\a^2 + 225 = 289\\\\289 - 225 = a^2\\64=a^2\\a = 8 cm$

The side length of the smallest Square is 8 cm

If my answer is incorrect, pls correct me!
