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!

Roberto decorates retangular signs. One sign is 2/3 foot long and 1/4 foot wide. Another sign is 1/2 long and 1/3 foot wide. It
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

It'll take him 1/4 hours to decorate the two signs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to know how long Roberto will take to decorate all the signs we need to find their surface area, since they're rectangular their area is given by the product of their dimensions.

First sign:

area1 = (2/3)*(1/4) = 2/12 = 1/6 foot²

Second sign:

area2 = (1/2)*(1/3) = 1/6 foot²

The total area he has to paint is the sum of their individual areas, so we have:

total area = area1 + area2 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 = 1/3 foot²

To find out how long he'll take to decorate this area we can use a rule of three as shown bellow:

3/4 hour -> 1 foot²

x hour -> 1/3 foot²

x = (3/4)*(1/3) = 1/4 hours
