Answer: Choice B
12.5 < x < 18.9
================================================
Explanation:
We have a triangle with these side lengths:
- a = 10
- b = 16
- c = x = unknown
Let's assume that b = 16 is the largest side of this triangle.
By the converse of the pythagorean theorem, we need to be true in order for an acute triangle to happen.
So,
Now let's consider the possibility that the missing side x is actually the longest side.
Using the same theorem as before, we would say,
We found that x > 12.5 and x < 18.9
This is the same as saying 12.5 < x and x < 18.9
Put together, they form the approximate answer of 12.5 < x < 18.9
To solve this problem, we need to first find the dimensions of the side of the blue and purple squares.
We're given that the purple (smaller) square has a side length of x inches.
We are also given that the blue band has a width of 5 inches.
Since the blue band surrounds the purple square on both sides, the length of the blue square is x+2(5)=x+10 inches.
The net area of the band is therefore the difference of the area of the blue square and the purple square, namely take out the area of the purple square from the blue.
Therefore
Area of band
[recall 
or 20(x+5) if you wish.
We're given that the purple (smaller) square has a side length of x inches.
We are also given that the blue band has a width of 5 inches.
Since the blue band surrounds the purple square on both sides, the length of the blue square is x+2(5)=x+10 inches.
The net area of the band is therefore the difference of the area of the blue square and the purple square, namely take out the area of the purple square from the blue.
Therefore
Area of band
