Question: The area of a square is 324 square inches. What is the length of one side of the square?
The formula for finding area of squares is:

Length x Width

Squares have 4 sides, and all sides measure the same. If the area is 324 square units, that means the length and width are the same.

x X x=x2

X2=324

x squared(x²) is equal to 324. To find x, you have to do the opposite of squaring, which is finding the square root.

x2= 324 —> square root of 324=x

To find x, you have find the square root of 324.

Square root of 324 is 8

The length of one side is 18 inches
Check:
The formula for finding area is:

Length x Width

The length and width gotten was 18. Put that into the formula:

18 x 18

Multiply:

18 x 18= 324

That means the answer is correct. Your answer is 18 inches.

Which of the following are geometric sequences?<br> Check all that apply.
kolezko [41]

Answers:

<h2>C & D</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two general types of sequences that follow a pattern, geometric and arithmetic. Let's see the difference between the two:

An arithmetic sequence is produced by adding the same number to all the terms in the sequence.

EXAMPLE:

5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17 (The number 2 is added to all terms)

To figure out if a sequence is arithmetic, subtract the first term from the second, then the second from the third and so on until you have checked all the terms.

7 - 5 = 2

9 - 7 = 2

11 - 9 = 2

13 - 11 = 2

15 - 13 = 2

17 - 15 = 2

All results equal 2, so the sequence is arithmetic

From your list: The following sequences are arithmetic

A. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 (common difference of 5)

The next type of sequence is the geometric sequence.

A geometric sequence is produced when the all the terms in the sequence are multiplied or divided by the same number.

EXAMPLE:

100, 50, 25 (Each term is divided by 2)

To figure this out, we divide each term in the sequence by the next term.

100 / 50 = 2

50 / 25 = 2

All results are two, so this sequence can be confirmed to be geometric

From your list: The following sequences are geometric

C. 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125 (common quotient of 2)

D. -9, -3, -1, -1/3, -1/9, -1/27 (common quotient of -3)

There is one final type of sequence, which has no common difference, sum, quotient, or product.

EXAMPLE:

5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15

This sequence has a pattern, the differences between the numbers are not common.

6 - 5 = 1

8 - 6 = 2

9 - 8 = 1

11 - 9 = 2

12 - 11 = 1

14 - 12 = 2

15 - 14 = 1

From your list: The following sequences are neither geometric nor arithmetic

B. 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 (No pattern)

I'n always happy to help :)

Another quick geometry question! Thanks!
miss Akunina [59]
Cross multiply.
14/12=x/18
14 x 18 = 252
252/12= 21
so x=21
