8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)
(distribute the 6)
8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48
(combine like terms 25 - 48)
8a - 4 = 6a - 23
( subtract 6a from both sides)
2a - 4 = -23
(add 4 to both sides)
2a = -19
(divide both sides by 2)
a = - 9.5
////CHECK/////
8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)
(plug each side into a calculator)
-80 = -80
FINAL ANSWER:
a = -9.5
The answer is quadrant 4 or IV
the length of the side of this square is
cm
Answer:
Solutions Given:
let diagonal of square be AC: 8 cm
let each side be a.
As diagonal bisect square.
let it forms right angled triangle ABC .
Where diagonal AC is hypotenuse and a is their opposite side and base.
By using Pythagoras law
hypotenuse ²=opposite side²+base side²
8²=a²+a²
64=2a²
a²=
a²=32
doing square root on both side

a=±
a=±2*2
Since side of square is always positive so
a=4
or 5.65 cm
