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

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!!

Refer to the attached image.

Given: $m \angle A = 65^\circ$ and measure of exterior angle at C = $117^\circ$ .

We have to determine the measure of angle B and angle BCA.

By applying exterior angle property of the triangle which states:

"An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the opposite interior angles".

So, exterior angle C = $m \angle A + m \angle B$

$117^\circ = 65^\circ+ m \angle B$

$m \angle B = 52^\circ$

Now, applying angle sum property in triangle ABC which states:

"The sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees".

$m \angle A + m \angle B + m \angle BCA = 180^\circ$

$65^\circ + 52^\circ + m \angle BCA = 180^\circ$

$117^\circ + m \angle BCA = 180^\circ$

$m \angle BCA = 180^\circ - 117^\circ$

$m \angle BCA =63^\circ$

Therefore, the measure of $m \angle B = 52^\circ$ and $m \angle BCA =63^\circ$ .
