Step-by-step explanation:

${a}^{2} = {8}^{2} + {5}^{2} \\ {a }^{2} = 64 + 25 \\ {a}^{2} = 89 \\ a = \sqrt{89} = 9.4 \: cm$

${17}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = {17}^{2} - {12}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = 289 - 144 \\ {b}^{2} = 145 \\ b = 12 \: cm$

Li Ping says a square with 3 inch sides has greater area than a parallelogram that is not a square but has sides that have the s

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Li Ping's statement makes sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square with side lengths a inches is given by, $A_1 = a^{2}$ .

Now, the area of a parallelogram with equal sides a inches, which is not a square is given by, $A_2 = ah$ , where, h is the perpendicular distance between the opposite sides.

See the diagram attached.

Since a is the hypotenuse of as right triangle with height h, hence, a > h.

So, $A_1 > A_2$

Therefore, Li Ping's statement makes sense. (Answer)
