The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.

x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0

x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---

If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:

12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216

Three students, Alicia, Benjamin, and Caleb, are constructing a square inscribed in a circle with center at point C. Alicia draw
True [87]

Benjamin is correct about the diameter being perpendicular to each other and the points connected around the circle.

<h3>Inscribing a square</h3>

The steps involved in inscribing a square in a circle include;

  • A diameter of the circle is drawn.
  • A perpendicular bisector of the diameter is drawn using the method described as the perpendicular of the line sector. Also known as the diameter of the circle.
  • The resulting four points on the circle are the vertices of the inscribed square.

Alicia deductions were;

Draws two diameters and connects the points where the diameters intersect the circle, in order, around the circle

Benjamin's deductions;

The diameters must be perpendicular to each other. Then connect the points, in order, around the circle

Caleb's deduction;

No need to draw the second diameter. A triangle when inscribed in a semicircle is a right triangle, forms semicircles, one in each semicircle. Together the two triangles will make a square.

It can be concluded from their different postulations that Benjamin is correct because the diameter must be perpendicular to each other and the points connected around the circle to form a square.

Thus, Benjamin is correct about the diameter being perpendicular to each other and the points connected around the circle.
