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

36 divided by 6+(18-6x2)
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

12.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation seems to want you to use the Order of Operations, a.k.a PEMDAS (which stands for Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction). When you do a problem like this, you use the Order of Operations to figure out the order in which you'd solve your problem.

You would first solve what is in parentheses, since that is the first letter in PEMDAS. 18-6x2 is what we have in our parentheses, but it's too confusing to be solved yet. The next letter is E, a.k.a exponents, but there are no exponents in this equation, so we move on. Next is M, Multiplication. We would multiply 6 by 2, which gives us 12. Moving on, we have D, Division. We would do 36/6, which is 6.

Our 5th letter is A, Addition. We would have to add our 6 to (18-12), but that couldn't work, since our 18-12 is still in parentheses, and those come first. So, we would skip to the last letter, S, Subtraction. 18-12=6, and since we solved all the problems in the parentheses, we remove them, and add both 6's together, giving us 12.

100 - (x/100)*100 = 71.4 => x = 29.6 => a single discount of 29.6%;
