It appears as if 12cm is half the length of the side so we can assume that the total length of one side is 24cm.
The area of a square is given by the equation where s is the length of the side.
A=576
The area of this square is 576cm2.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
42
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be "x"
We translate the word equation to algebraic equation.
First,
subtract 6 from me, so we have:
x - 6
Now,
Multiply by 2, so we have:
2(x-6)
Now,
Subtract 40, then divide by 4:
Now, you get "8", so equate this to 8, we get:
We now solve using algebra:
The number is 42
