It is 44. Can't argue about that
We have the following expression:
(x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
Let's rewrite the given expression:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
They both have area 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the square:
Area of the triangle:
Using the left-side of the triangle as the base, and the height from the left-side to the bottom-right corner:
We know the length of the diagonal is 
as we are using a centimetre grid, so we can create an isosceles triangle with side lengths 1 and our unknown length, we can then use Pythagorean Theorem to work out our unknown side length.
