Answer:
<u>Residue</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a and b be integers. We define a mod b to be the residue of dividing a by b. For example, if a evenly divides b, then a mod b=0, 20 mod 6= 2. The modulus operator is widely used in programming, and it is convenient when a and b are large numbers.
a mod b is always a nonnegative integer. In fact, 0≤ a mod b≤ |b-1| by the division algorithm. a and b can also be negative integers. Since 8=-(-5)+3 then 8 mod -5= 3.
As a final example, some known properties can be rewritten in terms of mod. a mod 2=0 if and only if a is even. a mod 2=1 if and only if a is odd.
In a square all 4 sides are equal, so when you cut it along the diagonal to make a triangle, both the base and the height of the triangle would be the same.
The area of a triangle is found by the formula 1/2 x base x height
Since the base and height are the same the formula becomes Area = 1/2 x S^2 ( where S is the length of a side).
The area is given as 0.72 square units.
Now you have 0.72 = 1/2 x S^2
First multiply both sides by 2:
1.44 = S^2
To find S, take the square root of both sides:
S = √1.44
S = 1.2
The side length is 1.2 units.
