Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.
Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:

It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.
From the question, we have the following ratio:
I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.
Now the areas of S is 
Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
One number will be positive, and one will be negative
6 workers-9 jobs in 3 days
In one day 6 workers can do 3 jobs
In one day 1 worker can do 0.5 job
4 workers can so 2 jobs in a day
So. They can do 10 jobs in 5 days
I set it in a big problem. Since you know that all the angles of a triable add up to 180,
m<a + m<b + m<c = 180, plug in equations/values
(36) + (3x+12) + (3x+18) = 180, subtract 36
3x+12 + 3x+18 = 144, combine like terms,
6x+30 = 144, subtract 30,
6x=114, divide by 6,
x=19. Plug in X to the equations for m<b and m<c
