What is the ratio of the area of the inner square to the area of the outer

Mathematics
1 answer:
Rama09 [41]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

\frac{(a-b)^2+b^2}{a^{2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The area of the square is

A=x^{2}

where

x is the length side of the square

step 1

Find the area of the outer square (A_o)

we have that

x=a\ units

substitute in the formula

A_o=a^{2}\ units^2

step 2

Find the area of the inner square (A_i)

we know that

The length side of the inner square is equal to the hypotenuse of a right triangle

so

Applying Pythagoras theorem

x^{2}=(a-b)^2+b^2

Remember that

A_i=x^2

so

A_i=(a-b)^2+b^2

step 3

Find the ratio of the area of the inner square to the area of the outer

ratio=\frac{A_i}{A_o}

substitute the values

ratio=\frac{(a-b)^2+b^2}{a^{2}}

Find the measures of all four angles if 3·(m∠1+m∠3) = m∠2+m∠4.
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1=m∠3

m∠2=m∠4

3*(m∠1+m∠3)=m∠2+m∠4

3*(m∠1+m∠1)=m∠2+m∠2

3×2 m∠1=2 m∠2

m∠2=3 m∠1

now m∠1+m∠2=180°

m∠1+3 m ∠1=180

4 m∠1=180

m∠1=180/4=45°

m∠3=45°

m∠2=180-m∠1=180-45=135°

m∠4=135°

What is the approximate volume of a cylinder with a diameter of 12 meters and a height of 7 meters? Use 3.14 for pi.
storchak [24]
The mathematical equation for volume of a cylinder is pi times radius Squared Times height

The radius squared is 36

So 3.14 x 36 =113.04
Then you multiply 113.04 x 7 = 719.28.
Round that number and you get to 791.3.

So the answer is c
