Since all the sides of a square are the same, all we need to do is take the square root of the area.

√143 = 11.958260...

How to round:

5 and above, round up

4 and below, round down

11.958260... -> 12

Therefore, the side lengths of the square is aproximately 12 feet.

Best of Luck!

Brut [27]

Let a = 7 , b = 7, and c = 13. c is always the biggest number.

Acute Triangle is when $c^2 \ \textless \ a^2 + b^2$

Right Triangle is when $c^2 = a^2 + b^2$

Obtuse Triangle is when $c^2 \ \textgreater \ a^2 + b^2$

Morgan has an investment worth $177,500. If his original investment was $50,000 and he received a 15% interest rate, how many ye

Illusion [34]

<h3>Morgan invested for 17 years</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

From given,

Principal = $ 50, 000

Total amount = $ 177, 500

Rate of interest = 15 %

Number of years = ?

Interest amount = Total amount - principal

Interest amount = 177, 500 - 50, 000

Interest amount = 127500

<em><u>Use the formula,</u></em>

$Interest = \frac{p \times n \times r}{100}\\\\127500 = \frac{ 50000 \times n \times 15}{100}\\\\127500 = 500 \times 15 \times n\\\\75n = 1275\\\\n = 17$

Thus he invested for 17 years
