Answer:

The side of original square was 7.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+3)(x+3) =2(x)(x)

x² + 6x + 9 = 2x²

reduce:

x² - 6x - 9 = 0

(x + 1.24)(x - 7.24) = 0

x = 7.24

Answer:

x = -2.32, 10.32 to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = [ - (-8) +/- sqrt (((-8)^2 - 4*1*(-24)] / 2

= 4 +/- sqrt160/2

4 < 4x- 16<br> Please answer!

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

First you need to get your variable(x) by itself.

You do that by adding 16 to both sides of the greater than sign.

The 16 cancels or goes away. and 16 + 4 =20.

Your new equation is 20<4x

Finally you divide 20 by 4 to get 5

Your answer is 5<x or x>5.

How do you find the length of a diagonal right triangle ?

V125BC [204]

Unsure what you mean by diagonal right triangle

but if you wanted to find the hypothenuse (longest side) of a right triangle, you can apply pythagorean theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2$
where c is the hypothenuse
a and b are the other sides
