Answer:
4.) 12ft
Step-by-step explanation:
You solve the area of a square using the following equation:
Area of a square = <em>s</em>²
Plug in 144 for Area of a square:
144 = s²
Isolate the variable, s. Root both sides of the equation.
√144 = √s²
s = √144 = √(12 * 12) = 12
4.) 12ft is your answer.

Answer:
6 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the right triangle formed by the wall, ladder and ground.
Let the distance the ladder is from the wall be d , then
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle
The square on the hypotenuse ( ladder) is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides ( wall and d ), then
d² + 8² = 10²
d² + 64 = 100 ( subtract 64 from both sides )
d² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )
d = 
= 6
That is the ladder is 6 feet away from the wall
"measures to the nearest tenth of a pound" tell us to round each of the weights listed to the nearest tenth (since the unit is already pounds, no conversion is needed). What this means is if the second number to the right of the decimal is 5 or greater, then we add 1 to the first number to the right of the decimal (and replace the second number with a zero). With all this said, it's much easier to show you, rather than to try to explain it. :D
4.35 is rounded up to 4.4 because the second number to the right of the decimal is 5.
Packet A = 4.4
Packet B = 4.4
Packet C = 4.5
Packed D = 4.4
The question is asking what the heaviest reading will be, so from the whole list above we pick the highest number which is 4.5 pounds. Notice how the answer is not Packet C, or 4.48 pounds, but 4.5 pounds. It is asking for the reading, not the packet, nor the weight. Hope this helps.
True
If two polygons are similar, their corresponding angles are the same, while corresponding sides are all in the same ratio.
