If one square is divided into 9 smaller equal squares, then they have to be arranged in 3 lines of 3, that is 3 smaller equal squares per side of the original big square. That said, the area of the big square is equal to the multiplication of 3 small squares sides times 3 small squares sides, call x the length of the small squares.
So,
area = 9 = 3x*3x
9x^2 = 9
x^2 = 1
x = 1
therefore the smaller squares have sides of 1 unit
Answer:
A. 3m² + 4m + 1 = 0
3m² + 3m + m + 1 = 0
3m (m + 1) + 1 (m + 1) = 0
( 3m + 1 ) (m + 1) = 0
B. 16n - 25
16n = 25
n = 25/16
L = Length
W = Width
L x W = area
Length = 2w
Lets find the width by solving for w.
2w + w = 36
3w = 36
3w/3 = 36 / 3
w = 12
So
L = 2 x 12 = 24
W = 12
L X W = area
24 x 12 = 288 cm^2
(side 1)² + (side 2)² = (diagonal)²
(9.5² + (14)² = (diagonal)²
90.25 + 196 = (diagonal)²
286.25 = (diagonal)²
√286.25 = √(diagonal)²
17 = diagonal
Answer: 17 inches
