Answer:

6 cm by 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for area of a square is A = s² where A = area and s is the length of one side. We know that A = 36 so:

36 = s²

√36 = s

s = ±6

Note that s = -6 is an extraneous solution because you can't have a side length of -6, therefore the answer is s = 6 so the dimensions of the square are 6 cm by 6 cm.

The area of a square is found using the formula area = s^2, where s is the length of a side. ( a square has 4 equal sides).

Given the area you have:

36 = s^2

Find a by taking the square root of both sides:

S = sqrt(36)

S = 6

The square has a side length of 6 cm.

Solve the following system of equations using substitution.<br><br> 4x + 2y = 12<br> x = y + 3
BigorU [14]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The method of substitution is when one solves an equation for one of the variables, and then substitutes the expression into the other equation. After doing so, one will solve the other equation for the remaining variable and then backsolve for the first variable.

4x + 2y = 12

x = y + 3

The second equation is already sovled for parameter (x), subttiute this into the other equation,

4(y + 3) + 2y = 12

Distribute,

4y + 12 + 2y = 12

Simplify,

6y + 12 = 12

Inverse operations,

6y + 12 = 12

-12

6y = 0

/6

y = 0

Backsolve for (x), substitute the value of (y) into the equation for (x) and solve,

x = y + 3

x = 0 + 3

x = 3
