If one square is divided into 9 smaller equal squares, then they have to be arranged in 3 lines of 3, that is 3 smaller equal squares per side of the original big square. That said, the area of the big square is equal to the multiplication of 3 small squares sides times 3 small squares sides, call x the length of the small squares.
So,
area = 9 = 3x*3x
9x^2 = 9
x^2 = 1
x = 1
therefore the smaller squares have sides of 1 unit
Confused with the question..
11/24
1. 3/8 = 9/24
2. 1/6 = 4/24
3. 9/24 + 4/24 = 13/24
4. 1- 13/24 = 11/24
And that’s if! Hoped this helped :)
These are all the correct steps to get the answer to this problem
The slope is -9/7. I don’t have an explanation because I used an online calculator but that’s the answer in case you don’t have to show work.
