Question: A square with sides of length 5 is positioned inside a square with sides of length 7. What is the total area between t
1 answer:
Answer:
The total area between the squares is of 24 units squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a square:
The area of a square of side length l is given by:
Area between figures:
The area between two figures is the area of the larger figure subtracted by the area of the smaller figure.
Larger square:
Square with side of length 7. So
Smaller square:
Square with side of length 5. So
What is the total area between the squares?
The total area between the squares is of 24 units squared.

Well, I'm way past the 15 min mark, but here's how to do the question.
With this, you will need to use the distance formula, , on XY, YZ, and ZX.
XY:
Firstly, solve inside the parentheses:
Next, solve the exponents:
Next, solve the addition, and XY's distance will be √29
(The process is the same with the other 2 sides, so I'll go through them real quickly)
YZ:
ZX:
Now that we got the 3 sides, we can add them up:
In short, your answer is 14.8, or the second option.
