Question

Solve for side length W

Answer 1

Answer:

6.36

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve this using pythagorean theory

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}$

we can subsitute a or b for w

and we also know that w is equal to the other leg and 9 is the hypotenuse

edit the function: $2w^{2}=9^{2}$

$2w^{2}=81$

divide both sides by 2: $w^{2}=40.5$

take the square root of both sides: $\sqrt{w^{2} }=\sqrt{40.5}$

simplify: w=6.36

Answer 2

Answer: W = Width

Step-by-step explanation: To find the width, multiply the length that you have been given by 2, and subtract the result from the perimeter. You now have the total length for the remaining 2 sides. This number divided by 2 is the width.
