From the given options 64 units is the area of square that Margo used. So, option D is correct.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

Given, Margo draws a triangle.  The lengths of the sides of the triangle are 8^{\prime \prime}, 15^{\prime \prime} \text { and } 17^{\prime \prime}

Margo uses the area of 3 squares to show that the triangle is a right triangle.  We have to find the area, in square units, of a square that Margo uses . Now, we know that, we can prove a triangle as right angled triangle using Pythagoras theorem  

\text { Pythagoras theorem } \rightarrow \text { hypotenuse }^{2}=\text { side }^{2}+\text { side }^{2}

Assume that above theorem is equation of area of one square = sum area of two squares.  Then, using area of three squares we can prove that a triangle is a right angle triangle.

Now, areas of the three squares will be 8^{2}, 15^{2}, 17^{2} \rightarrow 64,225,289

A decimal number changed to 23.7 after it was rounded. Give a decimal number that is less than 23.7 and another that is greater
mrs_skeptik [129]

Two <em>possible answers</em> are:

23.65 and 23.72.

Explanation:

For the first number, 23.65, we are rounding to the tenths place. 23.65 itself is smaller than 23.7. Looking behind the tenths place, the digit behind it is 5. This means we round the tenths place up; this becomes 23.7.

23.72 is larger than 23.7. We will round it to the tenths place as well. Looking behind the tenths place, we have a 2; this means we "round down." This means leave the 7 as it is and drop the other digits behind it. This gives us 23.7.
