The diagonal of any square always occurs in a ratio of \sqrt2:1 relative to the square's sides. That means if s is the side length, then \sqrt2s=8 gives the length of the diagonal. It follows that s=\dfrac8{\sqrt2}.

Then the area of the square is

s^2=\left(\dfrac8{\sqrt2}\right)^2=\dfrac{64}2=32 square inches

If you look carefully, that diagonal would be the Hypotenuse and the arms of the Square (which is equal in magnitude) would be the shorter sides.

Then, According to Pythagoras Theorem, 
a² + b² = c²
2a² = 8²
a² = 64/2
a = √32

Now, Area = Side²

So, A = (√32)²
A = 32 in²

In short, Your Answer would be; 32 in²

Hope this helps!

Answer:

5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

let they meet after t hours.

310t+380t=3450

690t=3450

69t=345

t=345/69=5

Option a: The number of bacteria at time x is 0.

Option b: An exponential function that represents the population is y=200(1.5)^x

Option c: The population after 10 minutes is 11534(app)

Explanation:

It is given that the coordinates of the graph are (0,200), (1,300) and (2, 450)

Option a: To determine the number of bacteria x when y = 200

From the graph, we can see that the line meets y = 200 when x = 0

Thus, the coordinates are (0,200)

Hence, the number of bacteria at time x is 0 when y = 200.

Option b: Now, we shall determine the exponential function of the population.

The general formula for exponential function is y=a \cdot b^{x}

Where a is the starting point and a=200

b is the common difference.

To determine the common difference, let us divide,

\frac{300}{200} =1.5

Also, \frac{450}{300} =1.5

Hence, the common difference is b=1.5

Thus, substituting the values a=200 and b=1.5 in the formula y=a \cdot b^{x},

we have, y=200(1.5)^x

Hence, An exponential function that represents the population is y=200(1.5)^x

Option c: To determine the population after 10 minutes, let us substitute x=10 in y=200(1.5)^x, since the x represents the population of the bacteria in minutes.

Thus, we have,

\begin{aligned}y &=200(1.5)^{x} \\&=200(1.5)^{10} \\&=200(57.67) \\&=11534\end{aligned}

Hence, the population after 10 minutes is 11534(app)
