A = (1/2)(x)(y)

Let x = diagonal 1

Let y = diagonal 2

The product of xy = 144.

This means that x = 12 and y = 12.

So, 12 • 12 = 144

Each diagonal is 12 feet.

Prove:

72 feet = (1/2)(12)(12) feet

72 feet = (1/2)(144) feet

72 feet = 72 feet

<h3>Answer: x = 12</h3>

Explanation:

The two angles shown are vertical angles. This occurs whenever you have an X shape like this, and whenever the angles are opposite one another. Vertical angles are always congruent.

6x+7 = 8x-17

6x-8x = -17-7

-2x = -24

x = -24/(-2)

x = 12

The area of a square bedroom is 144 square feet. what is the length of one wall?

Rufina [12.5K]

The answer is: "12 feet" .
________________________________
Note: In a square, the length of EACH of the four sides of the square is the same.

Area = Length * width.

For a square, length = width.

So for a square, Area = length * width = (length of a side)² = s² ,

Given: A = s² = 144 ft² ;

Solve for the positive value of "s" .
________________________________
  → s² = 144 ft² ; Take the "square root" of each side ;

  → √(s²) = √(144 ft²) ;

  → s = 12 ft.
_______________________________
The answer is: 12 ft.
