A square has 4 right angles and 4 equal sides.
If you draw a diagonal through the square then you get two right triangles. So the area relation between a square and a right triangle is going to be half. The area of the triangle is half the area of the square.
Also the formula for area of a square is length times width.
And the formula for the area of a right triangle is 0.5 times length times width.
So if you set up the equation (let's use * as multiplication symbol ):
Area of a Square : Area of a Right Triangle
length * width : 0.5 * length * width
(Divide by length * width on both sides)
1:0.5 or 2:1
To solve this equation, lets move all of the variables to one side of the equation and the constants to the other.
0.12x - 1.5 = 0.24x - 0.06
Subtract 0.12x from both sides of the equation
-1.5 = 0.12x - 0.06
Add 0.06 to both sides of the equation
-1.44 = 0.12x
Divide both sides by 0.12 to isolate x
x = -12
Area=pi x radius squared so (3.14)(10)squared = 314
A lot of teachers don't teach SohCahToa anymore! this acronym will really help you. I'd suggest looking up how to use it, it'll make trigonometry WAY easier!
