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!

The standard configuration for an Arizona license plate is 3 digits (0 - 9) followed by 3 letters (of 26). If you can not repeat
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

11232000 plates can be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the digits and of the letters is important. For example, ABC is a different configuration than CBA. So we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

3 digits from a set of 10(there are 10 digits from 0 to 9).

3 letters from a set of 26. So

Total:

T = P_{(10,3)} \times P_{(26,3)} = \frac{10!}{(10-3)!} \times \frac{26!}{(26-3)!} = 11232000

11232000 plates can be made.

The two lines graphed below are parallel. How many solutions are there to the system of equations?
coldgirl [10]

Solutions just means the amount of times the lines intersect, so there are no solutions. Since the lines are parallel, they’re going the exact same direction forever and ever, never intersecting. Hope this helps!

Triangle ABC is translated 3 units to the left and downward 10 units to form triangle A'B'C', then dilated by a factor of 2 to f
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Triangle A"B"C" are similar triangles to triangle ABC and all corresponding angles are congruent. Also, triangle A"B"C" is twice the size of triangle ABC.

<h3>What is transformation?</h3>

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformations are<em> reflection, rotation, translation and dilation.</em>

Translation is the movement of a point either <em>up, left, right or down</em> in the coordinate plane.

Triangle ABC is translated 3 units to the left and downward 10 units to form triangle A'B'C', then dilated by a factor of 2 to form triangle A''B''C''.

Hence:

Triangle A"B"C" are similar triangles to triangle ABC and all corresponding angles are congruent. Also, triangle A"B"C" is twice the size of triangle ABC.
