Question

The square below has an area of 22 - 10.2 + 25 square meters.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1.89

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve 22 - 10.2 + 25 to get 36.8 as the square's area.

Set up the equation 36.8 = (-10x + 25)^2 to represent the relationship between one side length and the area.

Reverse the equation to solve for x! Find the square root of both sides to cancel out the exponent. This gets you: 6.07 = -10x + 25.

Subtract 25 from both sides, then divide by -10 to get x by itself.

x = 1.89
