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

Determine if each pair of ratios or rates is equivalent. Explain your reasoning. 288 miles on 12 gallons of fuel; 240 miles 10 g
lesantik [10]
Yes they are equivalent. This is because if you simplify each fraction : 288/12 and 240/10 they both equal 24.
\frac{288}{12}  = 24
\frac{240}{10}  = 24
