Based on the mass of the circle and the triangle, we can find the mass of the square to be<u> 3.33 grams</u>
<h3>Mass of each side of hanger </h3>Assuming the mass of the square is x, the equation for the first side is:
= (3 x mass of circle) + (2 x mass of triangle) + (6 x mass of square)
= ( 3 x 2) + ( 2 x 4) + ( 6 × x)
= 6 + 8 + 6x
Mass of other side:
= (2 x mass of circle) + (5 x mass of triangle) + (3 x mass of square)
= ( 2 x 2) + ( 5 x 4) + ( 3 × x)
= 4 + 20 + 3x
<h3>Mass of square </h3>As both sides are equal, equate both formulas to find x:
6 + 8 + 6x = 4 + 20 + 3x
6x - 3x = 24 - 14
3x = 10
x = 10/3
x = 3.33 grams
In conclusion, each square is 3.33 grams.
