HELP!!!! Which expression is equivalent to the area of square A, in square centimeters? 3 squares are positioned to form a trian
gle. The small square is labeled 24 centimeters, medium square is 45 centimeters, and large square is not labeled. One-half (24) (45) 24 (45) (24 + 45) squared 24 squared + 45 squared
2 answers:
Answer: squared 24 squared + 45 squared
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Small square = 24cm
Medium square = 45cm
Large square =?
From the diagram attached;
Since the three squares forms a right-angle triangle, with the leg of the large square forming the hypotenus.
Thus, the expression to calculate the area can thus be :
Hypotenus^2 = opposite^2 + adjacent^2
A^2 = 24^2 + 45^2
Recall that the area of a square is the square of any of it's side, since the sides of a square are are equal, that is A^2
