Answer:

36 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the side of the square = x cm.

As, side of the square is 3 cm less than and 2 cm more than the sides of the rectangle.

Thus, the sides of the rectangle will be (x+3) and (x-2)

<em>Also, it is given that, 'The area of the square is 30 cm² less than the area of the rectangle'.</em>

As, Area of the square = x^{2}

Area of the rectangle = (x+3)(x-2)

Thus, we have

(x+3)(x-2)-x^{2}=30

i.e. x^2-2x+3x-6-x^{2}=30

i.e. x-6=30

i.e. x=36

Thus, the side of the square is 36 cm.

The segment from (-1,4) to (2,-2) extended three times then terminal point of segment is
ziro4ka [17]
There are various ways in which you could do this problem.  I'm going to share what I think is one of the faster ways.

Instead of thinking of jumping from (-1,4) TO (2,-2),  Consider the horiz. jump separately and the vertical jump separately.  From -1 to 2 is 3 units.  Three times that is 9 units.  Add 9 to -1, obtaining 8.  That's the horiz. component of the terminal point.

From 4 to -2 is -6 units.  Mult. that by 3.  The result is the vert. comp of the terminal point.

Uniforms are in package of 8 . There are 127 people each person gets 3 uniforms how many packages will store need to order
lora16 [44]
Given:
uniforms in a package of 8.
127 people with 3 uniforms each.

127 x 3 = 381 uniforms

381 ÷ 8 = 47.625 ⇒ 48 packages

The store will need to order 48 packages of uniforms to fulfill the uniform requirement of 127 people. There will also be 3 uniforms left in excess of the 48 packages.

48 * 8 = 384
384 - 381 = 3 excess uniform
