Answer:

2in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the original side "x". so x² (area of a square) is = x² (as we can't simplify it). Then we got a 4 added to each side. So now we redefine each side as "x+4". So now we can make an equation of the area of the square. x² + 4² = 36. Now you realize that 36 is 6² so you write it. x² + 4² = 6² . Since everything is now a square just square root everything (√) So Now x + 4 = 6. Now you have a 1st degree equation now solve simple math. x = 6 - 4 = 2. The side of original square is 2in

Explain two ways to find the LCM​
svp [43]

Answer:

1. List the first several multiples of each number.

Look for multiples common to both lists. ...

Look for the smallest number that is common to both lists.

This number is the LCM.

Find the GCF for the two numbers.

Divide that GCF into the either number; it doesn't matter which one you choose, so choose the one that's easier to divide.

Take that answer and multiply it by the other number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps!

Can you help me to find the values of abc and cde ? ​
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

88° and 132°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a pentagon ( a 5-sided shape) is given as

= (5 - 2) 180°

= 540°

The angles ∠EAB and ∠AED are supplementary hence the sum is 180° Therefore,

∠AED + 110 = 180

∠AED = 180 - 110

= 70°

Given that the sum of the angles in a pentagon is 540° then

110 + 70 + 2k + 140 + 3k = 540

5k + 320 = 540

5k = 540 - 320

5k = 220

k = 220/5

= 44°

Hence the angle ∠ABC

= 2 × 44

= 88°

∠CDE

= 3 × 44

= 132°
