Answer:

The lengths of sides of squares are 5 cm and 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of rectangle be x and y .

Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth

Given : Area of rectangle = 45 cm².

⇒ x × y  = 45  

⇒ x=\frac{45}{y}  ........(1)

Two squares are constructed such that two adjacent sides of the rectangle

so squares have side x and y .

Area of square = side × side

Area of square with side x = x²

Area of square with side y = y²

Also, The combined area of the two squares is 106 cm².

⇒ x² + y² = 106

From (1) put value of x , we get,

(\frac{45}{y})^2+y^2=106

Solving for y ,

(\frac{45}{y})^2+y^2=106  

2025+y^4=106y^2  

y^4-106y^2+2025=0  

y^4-81y^2-25y^2+2025=0  

y^2(y^2-81)-25(y^2-81)=0  

(y^2-25)(y^2-81)=0

y^2-81=0 or y^2-25=0    

on solving we get y = 5 and y = 9

Also, x can be find by putting in (1),

⇒ x=\frac{45}{5}=9 and ⇒ x=\frac{45}{9}=5  

⇒ x = 9 and x = 5

Thus, lengths of sides of squares are 5 cm and 9 cm.

Answer: 5 cm and 9 cm


Step-by-step explanation:

If the two squares are x and y, then

xy = 45

x^2 + y^2 = 106

so,

x^2 + (45/x)^2 = 106

x^2 + 2025/x^2 = 106

x^4 - 106x^2 + 2025 = 0

(x^2-25)(x^2-81) = 0

x^2 = 25 and 81

x = 5 and 9

yep, 5*9 = 45

Simplify square root of 2 over cube root of 2.
Fed [463]

Answer:

2 to the power of one sixth

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you don't already know this, any type of root can be expressed as an exponent. Generally speaking:

\sqrt[n]{x}  =  {x}^{ \frac{1}{n} }

So you can rewrite the given fraction as

\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }

and then reduce as you normally would. That is, if the bases of the numerator and denominator are the same, then you can subtract the denominator's exponent from the numerator's exponent like so:

\frac{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} } }{ {2}^{ \frac{1}{3} } }  =  {2}^{ \frac{1}{2} -  \frac{1}{3}  }

Since

\frac{1}{2}  -  \frac{1}{3}  =  \frac{3}{6}  -  \frac{2}{6}  =  \frac{1}{6}

the answer is

{2}^{ \frac{1}{6} }  \: or \:  \sqrt[6]{2}
