To find the ratio of the areas, we are obviously going to first need to find the areas of the inner and outer squares. The outer square has a side length of a because we are a units away from 0 on the x-axis. Thus, the area of the outer square is a^2.


We can see that a right triangle is formed by part of the x-axis, part of the y-axis, and the side of the inner square. Thus, we can find the length of the inner square through the Pythagorean Theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs of the right triangle and c is the hypotenuse. The lengths of the legs of the right triangle in the picture are (a - b) and b. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the other side length.

(a - b)^2 + b^2 = c^2

c = \sqrt{(a - b)^2 + b^2}


We have now found that the side length of the inner square is \sqrt{(a -b)^2 + b^2}. Thus, the area of the inner square is (a - b)^2 + b^2.


Using the two areas we just found, we can say that the ratio of the area of the inner square to the area of the outer square is \dfrac{(a - b)^2 + b^2}{a^2}, or choice A.

Harrison has $9.30 in his coin collection all in pennies and dimes the number of dimes is three times the number of pennies how
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Number of Pennies = 30

Number of Dimes = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pennies be p and number of dimes be d

We can write 2 equations and use substitution method to solve.

<u>Total value of all the coins is 9.30:</u>

We can write:

0.01p + 0.1d = 9.30

Note: value of penny is 0.01 and dime is 0.1, in dollars

<u>Number of dimes is 3 times number of pennies:</u>

We can write:

d = 3p

Now putting 2nd equation in first and solving for p:

0.01p + 0.1(3p) = 9.30

0.01p + 0.3p = 9.30

0.31 p = 9.30

p = 9.30 /0.31

p = 30

Now we know d = 3p, so d = 3 (30) = 90

Hence

Number of Pennies = 30

Number of Dimes = 90
