To find the area of a square with it's diagonal, there's actually a formula = (1/2)d², but here's how to do it if you don't have the formula:

The diagonal c separates the square into two of the same triangles. Therefore, we can apply Pythagorean Theorem

a²+b²=c² ← Since this is a square, a=b is a must

a²+a²=c² ← Combine like terms, and plug 26 in for c

2a²= 26² ← 26²=676, then divide 2 on both sides

a²= 676/2

a²=338 ← We can just stop here! Since a is a side of the square, therefore the area of a square = a²

Answer: 338 units²

Solution -9-8(1+4h)= -17

geniusboy [140]

Step 1. Add 9 to both sides

 $-8(1+4h)=-17+9$

Step 2. Simplify $-17+9$ to $-8$

$-8(1+4h)=-8$

Step 3. Divide both sides by $-8$

$1+4h=1$

Step 4. Cancel 1 on both sides

$4h=0$
Step 5. Divide both sides by 4

$h=0$

Done! :) Hope this helps! :)

To check $-9-8(1+4h)=-17$ follow these steps below:

Step 1. Let h = 0

$-9-8*(1+4*0)=-17$

Step 2. Simplify 4 * 0 to 0

$-9-8*(1+0)=-17$

Step 3. Simplify 1 + 0 to 1

$-9-8*1=-17$

Step 4. Simplify 8 * 1 to 8

$-9-8=-17$

Step 5. Simplify -9 -8 to -17

 $-17=-17$

Done! :)
