There is only one solution to the equation.  A quadratic equation has 2 solutions a positive and a negative, but since we are looking for length, the answer can only be postive.  Area= side^2

              400= x^2

         sqrt(400)=x

          20 inches = x  

The length of one side is 20 inches


check: 20*20 = 400, which is the area of the square painting.

hjlf

Answer: 3.82 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the shown figure, we can imagine the scene as a <u>right triangle</u>, where the tower is located at the right angle, and the fireman and the forest fire located at each of the other two vertices.

So, since we are dealing with a right triangle we can use the Pithagorean Theorem, in order to find the distance from the fireman to the fire d, which is also the hypotenuse.

d^{2}= (2.1 miles)^{2} +(3.2 miles)^{2}

d=\sqrt{(2.1 miles)^{2} +(3.2 miles)^{2}}

Finally:

d=3.82 miles
