Side of the original square is 5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Let the side of the original square be x. Then side of the new square = x + 3 and Area of new square = 64 cm²

Area of a square = (side)²

⇒ 64 = (x + 3)²

⇒ 64 = x² + 6x + 9

⇒ x² + 6x - 55 = 0

⇒ x² + 11x - 5x - 55 = 0        (Since 6x = 11x - 5x as part of factorizing)

⇒ x(x + 11) - 5(x + 11) = 0

⇒ (x + 11)(x - 5) = 0

⇒ x = -11 and x = 5 (Lengths can't be negative)

Side of the original square is 5 cm.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Show Solution. Start by writing the equation of the parabola in standard form. The standard form that applies to the given equation is (x−h)2=4p(y−k) ( x − h ) 2 = 4 p ( y − k ) . Thus, the axis of symmetry is parallel to the y-axis.

I have tried this like 10 diffrent ways<br> -3(r+9)=-32
KonstantinChe [14]
Distribute -3 to parenthasees
-3(r+9)=-3r-27

now we have
-3r-27=-32
add 27 to both sides
-3r+27-27=27-32
-3r+0=-5
-3r=-5
divide both sides by -3
r=-5/-3
r=5/3

Write the fractions as fractions with a common denominator 3/4 and 1/3
JulijaS [17]

3/4 and 1/3

4x3 = 12 that will be the common denominator.

For 3/4 we first divide 12/4 = 3 and then multiply 3 x3 = 9 that's the numerator

For 1/3 we first divide 12/3 = 4 and then multiply 1x4 = 4 that's the numerator

The fractions will be rewrited as: 9/12 and 4/12
