36/54 = x/100
54x = 100 * 36
54x = 3600
x = 3600 ÷ 54
x = 66.666666.... so 66.67
First put it into a proportion and then cross multiply. After that you divide both sides by 54 to get x alone which gives you 66.66666 which is rounded to 66.67
Answer: 66.67%
Answer:
The area of the square adjacent to the third side of the triangle is 11 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the area of two squares, one being 33 units² the other 44 units². A square is present with all sides being equal, and hence the length of the square present with an area of 33 units² say, should be x² = 33 - if x = the length of one side. Let's make it so that this side belongs to the side of the triangle, to our convenience,
x² = 33,
x =
.... this is the length of the square, but also a leg of the triangle. Let's calculate the length of the square present with an area of 44 units². This would also be the hypotenuse of the triangle.
x² = 44,
x =
.... applying pythagorean theorem we should receive the length of a side of the unknown square area. By taking this length to the power of two, we can calculate the square's area, and hence get our solution.
Let x = the length of the side of the unknown square's area -
=
+
,
x =
... And
squared is 11, making the area of this square 11 units².
