Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
B. Side <em>a</em> is 7 inches long and side <em>b</em> is 6 inches long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the scale drawing is three times bigger than the actual object, divide both numbers by three to find the object size.
Side a:
21/3 = 7 inches
Side b:
18/3 = 6 inches
Given

we have

Squaring both sides, we have

And finally

Note that, when we square both sides, we have to assume that

because we're assuming that this fraction equals a square root, which is positive.
So, if that fraction is positive you'll actually have roots: choose

and you'll have

Which is a valid solution. If, instead, the fraction is negative, you'll have extraneous roots: choose

and you'll have

Squaring both sides (and here's the mistake!!) you'd have

which is not a solution for the equation, if we plug it in we have

Which is clearly false
