PLEASE HELP me with the magic square

Mathematics
1 answer:
defon2 years ago
5 0

Fill in each slot in the square with variables <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, <em>c</em>, <em>d</em>, and <em>e</em>, in order from left-to-right, top-to-bottom. In a magic square, the sums across rows, columns, and diagonals all add up to the same number called the <em>magic sum</em>.

The magic sum is -3.9, since "diagonal 2" (bottom left to top right) has all the information we need:

3 + (-1.3) + (-5.6) = -3.9

Use this to find the remaining elements

  • row 1:

<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> + (-5.6) = -3.9

  • row 2:

<em>c</em> + (-1.3) + <em>d</em> = -3.9

  • row 3:

3 + <em>e</em> + 0.02 = -3.9

  • column 1:

<em>a</em> + <em>c</em> + 3 = -3.9

  • column 2:

<em>b</em> + (-1.3) + <em>e</em> = -3.9

  • column 3:

(-5.6) + <em>d</em> + 0.02 = -3.9

  • diagonal 1 (top left to bottom right):

<em>a</em> + (-1.3) + 0.02 = -3.9

You will find

<em>a</em> = -2.62

<em>b</em> = 4.32

<em>c</em> = -4.28

<em>d</em> = 1.68

<em>e</em> = -6.92
