Question

the combined area of two squares is 45 square cm. each side one square is twice as long as a side of the other Square. what is the length of each side of the larger square​

Answer 1

6 centimeters



x will represent the side length of the smaller square, so 2x is the side length of the bigger square.

x*x + 2x*2x = 45

x^2 + 4x^2 = 45

5x^2 = 45

x^2 = 9 (Divide by 5)

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(9)

x = 3

2x = 6 (Multiply by 2)
