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!

Brian spends
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Brian have £105 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount earned by Brian per week = £168

Fraction spent on rent = 1/8

Amount spent on rent = 1/8 x 168

Amount spent on rent = £42

Fraction spent on food = 1/8

Amount spent on food = 1/8 x 168

Amount spent on food = £21

Amount left = Amount earned - amount spent on rent - amount spent on food

Amount left = 168 - 42 - 21

Amount left = £105

Brian have £105 left.

I hope this helps you

What does this sentence mean? Or write the formula
malfutka [58]

Answer:

An odd integer is denoted by 2n+1 where n is an integer.

First odd integer = 2n+1

Next odd integer = 2n+3

8 ≦ (2n+1)+(2n+3) < 24

8 ≦ 2n+1+2n+3 < 24

8 ≦ 4n+4 < 24

Divide through by 4

2 ≦ n+1 < 6

Subtract 1 for all three sides:

1 ≦ n < 5

n ∈ {1,2,3,4}  

Answer:  {2n+1, 2n+3}  {1,3}, {3,5}, {5,7

Step-by-step explanation:
