The length of a side of the larger square is 3 cm more than the length of a side of the smaller square.
let the side of the smaller square is a cm then larger square has sides a+3 cm
The sum of the area of two squares is 89 square centimeters.
so a^2+(a+3)^2=89
or a^2+a^2+9+6a=89
or 2a^2+6a-80=0
or a^2+3a-40=0
or a^2+8a-5a-40=0
or a(a+8)-5(a+8)=0
or (a+8)(a-5)=0
or a+8=0=> a=-8 rejected for -ve value
then (a-5=0 =>a=5 the side of the smaller square
& the sides of the larger square is 3+5=8 cms

The length of the SMALLER square is:
B. 5

Basically I tested each answer choice and see if all the information matches it.
Lets check how my answer is correct:
We know that:
The length of the bigger square is 3 more than the smaller square’s length.
The areas of both squares add up to 89 cm^2
length of the SMALLER square is: 5 cm
length of the LARGER square:
5 + 3 = 8 cm

Area of smaller square:
5^2 = 25 cm^2

Area of bigger square:
8^2 = 64 cm^2

ADD UP BOTH AREAS OF SQUARES:
25 + 64 = 89 cm^2

Hope this helps!

Which relationship in the triangle must be true?
Paul [167]

We'll assume this is an arbitrary triangle ABC.


A) No, the sines of two different angles can be whatever they want


B) sin(B)=cos(90-B)


Yes, that's always true. The "co" in cosine means "complementary" as in the complementary angle, which adds to 90. So the sine of an angle is the cosine of the complementary angle.


C) No, the correct identity is sin(180-B)=sin B. Supplementary angles share the same sine.


D) Just like A, different triangle angles often have different cosines.


Answer: Choice B

Plug -5 into both of them and divide:

\sf\dfrac{2x-20}{x-1}

\sf\dfrac{2(-5)-20}{-5-1}

Simplify:

\sf\dfrac{-10-20}{-6}

\sf\dfrac{-30}{-6}

Answer:

a) slope / m = 3

b) y-intercept / b = 0

c) Proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

( y1 - y2 ) / ( x1 - x2 )

( 6 - 12 ) / ( 2 - 4 )

( -6 ) / ( -2 )

6 / 2

3

b)

y = mx + b

6 = 3(2) + b

6 = 6 + b

0 = b

c)

Proportional is when it crosses origin ( 0, 0 ).

Not proportional is when it does not cross origin.

Hopefully this helps!

viva [34]

Answer:

LCD = 60

<em>BRAINLIEST, PLEASE!</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the denominator numbers are multiples of 60, and since 60 is also equal to the largest denominator number, it's the LCD.
