Area of a rectangle (Ar) = Length (L) x width (w)

Area of a square (As) = side (s) squared

Ar = As

4 x 16 = s²

64 = s²

√64 = √s²

+/- 8 = s

Since length of a side cannot be negative, disregard the -8

s = 8

Answer: a. 8

lakkis [162]

Answer:

A & D

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 3x²+2x-5 = 0

=> Using Mid-term Break Formula

=> 3x²-3x+5x-5 = 0

=> 3x(x-1)+5(x-1) = 0

=> (3x+5)(x-1) = 0

Either,

3x+5 = 0 OR x-1 = 0

x = $-\frac{5}{3}$ OR x = 1
