Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the square.

Length of the square = a

a² +a² = diagonal²

2a² = 12²

2a² = 144

a² = 144 ÷ 2

a² = 72

$a =\sqrt{72}\\\\ = \sqrt{2*2*2*3*3}\\\\ = 2*3\sqrt{2}\\\\a = 6\sqrt{2}\\\\\\\\Perimeter= 4a\\\\ = 4*6\sqrt{2}\\\\= 24\sqrt{2} cm$

Suppose g(m) varies inversely with M and g (m) = 3.5 when m = 10.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

m =7.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the constant number = k.

g(m) = k/m,

3.5 = k/10,

k = 35.

Thus, when g(m) = 5 = 35/m, m = 7.
