If a number is increased by its square, the result is 72 find the number

Mathematics

Translating into a mathematical equation:

n + n^2 = 72

Rewriting,    n^2 + n - 72 = 0
Factoring,    (n+9)(n-8) = 0
Solving for n:  n = -9 or n = 8

You must check both answers before accepting one, the other or both.

Example:  suppose we check out n = 8.  Then  8 + 8^2 = 72 is true, and n = 8 is a solution.  Is n = -9 a solution?  Try it.

Which statement describes whether a right triangle can be formed using one side length from each of these squares?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the given squares are

Area = 64 in

Area = 225 in

Area = 289 in

The length of each side of a square is determined by finding the square root of its area. For the first square, the length of its side is √64 = 8inches. For the second square, the length of its side is √225 = 15inches. For the third square, the length of its side is √289 = 17inches.

For a right angle triangle to be formed, Pythagorean theorem must be obeyed. Sum of the square of the smaller sides must equal the square of the longer side. Therefore,

8² + 15² = 17²

289 = 289

Therefore, the correct statement is

Yes, a right triangle can be formed because the sum of the areas of the two smaller squares equals the area of the largest square
