Answer:

\text{Smaller square's 15 inches, Bigger square's 18 inches}

Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: The length of each side of a square is 3 inches more than the length of each side of a small square. The sum of the areas of the square is 549 inches.

TO FIND: the lengths of the sides of the two squares.

SOLUTION:

let the length of side of small square be \text{x}

Area of small square =(\text{side})^2=\text{x}^2

As length of each side of bigger square is 3\text{ inches} more than the smaller square

length of side of bigger square =\text{x}+3\text{ inches}

Area of bigger square =(\text{x+3})^2

Also

Sum of areas of both square =549\text{ inch}^2

(\text{x})^2+(\text{x+3})^2=549

2\text{x}^2+6\text{x}+9=549

\text{x}^2+3\text{x}-270=0

\text{x}=15,-18

as the length of side can never be negative

\text{x}=15

length of side of smaller square =15\text{ inches}

length of side of bigger square =\text{x}+3\text{ inches}=18\text{ inches}

Hence the length of smaller and bigger square are 15\text{ inches} and 18\text{ inches} respectively.

Let G denote the centroid of triangle ABC. If triangle ABG is equilateral with side length 2, then determine the perimeter of tr
zhannawk [14.2K]
We know from Euclidean Geometry and the properties of a centroid that GC=2GM. Now GM=sin60*GA=\sqrt{3}. Hence CM=GC+GM=3*\sqrt{3} /. Now, since GM is normal to AB, we have by the pythagoeran theorem that:
AC^2=AM^2+GM^2=BM^2+GM^2=BC^2
Hence, we calculate from this that AC^2= 28, hence AC=2*\sqrt{7}=BC. Thus, the perimeter of the triangle is 2+4*\sqrt{7}.

The incorrect work of a student to solve an equation 2(y + 6) = 4y is shown below.
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

<h3>⇒ A. 2 should be distributed as 2y + 12, y = 6</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps to solve this equation:

<u>Given:</u>

First step: 2(y+6)-4y

Use the distributive property.

<u>Distributive property:</u>

<h3>⇒ A(B+C)=AB+AC</h3>

2(y+6)

2*y=2y

2*6=12

2y+12

Isolate the term of y from one side of the equations.

2y+12=4y

Subtract by 12 from both sides.

2y+12-12=4y-12

Solve.

2y=4y-12

Then, you subtract by 4y from both sides.

2y-4y=4y-12-4y

Solve.

2y-4y=-2y

-2y=-12

Divide by -2 from both sides.

\sf{\dfrac{-2y}{-2}=\dfrac{-12}{-2}}

Solve.

Divide the numbers from left to right.

<u>Solutions:</u>

-12/-2=6

\Longrightarrow: \boxed{\sf{y=6}}

  • <u>Therefore, the correct answer is A. "2 should be distributed as 2y+12, y=6".</u>

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
