Answer:

3\sqrt{3} + 72

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.

Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:

9 \times 8 = 72ft^{2}

It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.

From the question, we have the following ratio:

\frac{9}{S} = \frac{S}{T}[\tex]But[tex]\frac{9}{S} = \frac{S}{3}[\tex]Multiplying through by 3S we have27 = S² and this gives:[tex]S = \sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt{3}

I did not add ± because length is always positive, so the case of negative is eliminated.

Now the areas of S is 3\sqrt{3}

Therefore, the total area of the shaded squares is

3\sqrt{3} + 72

At a football game Jasmine bought a soft pretzel for $2.25 in a bottle of water for $1.50 she paid with a $5 bill how much thing
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

$1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:    

We have been given that at a football game Jasmine bought a soft pretzel for $2.25 in a bottle of water for $1.50 she paid with a $5 bill.

First of all let us find how much Jasmine spent on soft pretzel and water bottle by adding the cost of both items.

\text{Total amount spent on both items}=2.25+1.50

\text{Total amount spent on both items}=3.75

To find the amount that Jasmine will get as a change we will subtract the amount spent on both items from 5.

\text{Amount of change that Jasmine will get}=5-3.75

\text{Amount of change that Jasmine will get}=1.25

Therefore, Jasmine will get $1.25 back as change.

area of rectangle tabletop is 4 square feet. cassie will cover the tabletop with squares tile that an area of 1 square inch. how
marshall27 [118]
I would be guessing that since the square is 4ft squared I would imagine that it would have 2ft per side. That would mean 24inches per side. 24×4= 96inches.
96 tiles is what she needs. I am a little confused myself, hope this helps
