To find the area of a square with it's diagonal, there's actually a formula = (1/2)d², but here's how to do it if you don't have the formula:
The diagonal <em>c</em> separates the square into two of the same triangles. Therefore, we can apply Pythagorean Theorem
a²+b²=c² ← Since this is a square, a=b is a must
a²+a²=c² ← Combine like terms, and plug 26 in for c
2a²= 26² ← 26²=676, then divide 2 on both sides
a²= 676/2
a²=338 ← We can just stop here! Since <em>a </em>is a side of the square, therefore the area of a square = a²
Answer: 338 units²

Answer:
C. define all variables
Step-by-step explanation:
Equations for word problems will depend on the problem. Not all of the equations will be linear equations. Even if they are, they are not necessarily easily written in any particular form, or easily solved when they are written in that form. The nature of the equations will depend on the problem.
One thing that must be done in any case is <em>define all variables</em>. It is usually a good idea to define the units of the variable(s) as well. Sometimes problems are posed with numbers in incompatible dimensions, or they may ask for an answer in dimensions different from those used in the given information. In order to avoid confusion and to be sure you have the desired answer, you need to make sure the variables and their dimensions are compatible with the solution process.
1. substitute:
4+(7-5)
2. simplify:
4+2
3. evaluate:
6
the answer is 6.
Remember that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
is the width of the rectangle
is the length of the rectangle
Thus, in this case, you can see that we are adding two of the same monomials and two of another monomial. One monomial is 
and another monomial is 
. In this case, these monomials would fulfill the perimeter equation of a rectangle.
Applying this perimeter structure, we can find that this expression represents a perimeter equation of a rectangle with sides x + 15 and x + 5.
