Let the original side of the square be x inches.When sides are increased by 4 inches the sides are x+4 inches.

Area of square with side x inches= x^{2}.

Area of square with sides x+ inches=(x+4)^{2}.

According to question:The area of a square can be quadrupled by increasing the side length and width by 4 inches.\

Or 4x^{2}=(x+4)^{2}

Expanding we have:

4x^{2}=x^{2}+8x+16.

Or,3x^{2}-8x-16=0.

Factoring,

(3x+4)(x-4)=0

3x+4=0   or  x=4

x=-\frac{4}{3}. Or x=4.

Sides can not be negative so x=4.

The sides of the square will be 4 inches.

An angle measures 72 degrees more than the measure of its complementary angle what is the measure of each angle
labwork [276]

Good evening

Answer:

<h2>measure of Angle 1 = 81°</h2><h2>Measure of angle 2 = 9°</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve this system

x + y = 90 (1)

x = y + 72 (2)

If we substitute x by y+72 into the equation (1) we will get

(y+72) + y = 90 ⇔ 2y + 72 = 90 ⇔ 2y = 90 - 72 = 18 ⇔ y = 9

then x = 90 - 9 = 81
