Answer:

The side length of the large square is √2 times larger than the side length of the small square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a small square (square 1) and a large square (square 2). The area of the large square is twice that of the small square, that is,

A₂ = 2 A₁

A₂/A₁ = 2 [1]

The area of a square is equal to the length of the side (l) raised to the second power.

A = l²

l = √A

The ratio of l₂ to l₁ is:

l₂/l₁ = √A₂ / √A₁ = √(A₂/A₁)

We can replace [1] in the previous expression.

l₂/l₁ = √2

The side length of the large square is √2 times larger than the side length of the small square.

Rectangle pqrs is shown with its diagonals, pr and qs. what type of triangle is △str?right triangleequilateral triangleisosceles
Rainbow [258]
Since you did not provide a diagram, I made one for easier reference. You are asking what kind of triangle is the one shaded in red. Since a rectangle has two sets of congruent sides, their diagonals are also equal. When two diagonals intersect each other, they make 4 congruent sides. Thus, the triangle is an isosceles triangle, since it has two equal sides ST and TR.

The price of a commodity has fell down by 15% so that priya can buy 3 more commodities for Rs 1700. What was the original price
erastova [34]

Answer:

2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

write out an equation that represents the problem. the original price X fell by 15% to a new price of 1700:

X - (X*15%) = 1700

X(1-0.15) =1700

X=1700/(1-0.15)

X=2,000

convert 15% to decimal form:

15%=0.15
