Find the area of a square if the perimeter is equal to 38 in.

1 answer:

8 0

Hello! I would love to help!

Alright! We know that perimeter is basically adding all the sides of a shape together. We also know that a square has 4 sides, so 38 is the result of 4 sides being added. Now, we also know that all sides of a square are even. So, to find one side of a square, we just need to do 38/4

38/4=9.5

Alright. So now we know one side of a square is 9.5 in. We know that in order to find area, we have to multiply length and width. We know that since all sides of a square are even, 9.5 is both our length and width. So, in order to find the area, we just have to multiply 9.5 by 9.5

9.5*9.5=90.25

Alright! So we have determined your answer!!!

90.25 or in fraction form 90 1/4 inches squared!

Hope this helped! Comment if you have questions!!

The value of x is 34.64 feet

<h3>Right-angled triangle</h3>

Find the diagram attached

The height of the tent = 40 ft
length of the rope = x

Get the value of x using the SOH CAH TOA identity

$sin 60 = \frac{x}{40}\\0.8660 = \frac{x}{40}\\x = 40(0.8660)\\x = 34.64feet$

Hence the value of x is 34.64 feet

Answer:

p=1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Additive inverse of any number means a number which can be added to the original number to get

Two numbers are said to be additive inverse of each other if sum of both numbers is 0. For example if 5 is the given number then -5 will be it's additive inverse. So to find additive inverse, we basically change the sign of number.

Given number p is additive inverse off -1.2 so p must be 1.2.

Sum will obviously be 0.

So to graph them on number line, we make a point at -1.2, 1.2 and at 0 for their sum.
