The area of a square is 49 square meters. How long is each side?

A square has 4 equal sides, which means when you need to work out the area, you're doing length × width, but the length and width are exactly the same, because it's a square (look at the picture if you don't understand this).

That means you just have to pick any side (let's call this side x), and multiply it by another side of the square. Now, because all of the sides are equal, you're doing x multiplied by x, which is the same as x².

Therefore, if the area is equal to x², and in this question, it's also equal to 49 (as stated in the question), we can equate them to each other:

x² = 49

Now to get the x by itself, we need to do the opposite of squaring, which is square rooting. Therefore, we square root both sides of the equation:

√x² = √49

The √ and the ² cancel out, so you're just left with x:

x = √49

The square root of 49 is just 7, so we can replace √49 with 7, and we get:

x = 7

Now remember, earlier, I called x the value of one side. Therefore, by remembering that, you know that the value of one side is equal to 7. And because all the sides are the same as each other, each side is equal to 7 metres.

Therefore, your final answer is 7 metres :)

A survey about the student government program at a school finds the following results 190 students like the program 135 Students
Butoxors [25]
190+135+220=445. 360(the degrees in a circle)/445(the number of students)=0.81. Each student is worth 0.81 degrees. 0.81x190(the number of students that like the program)=135.9. That rounds up or 136 so the answer is 136 degrees.

Answer:

The number of quarters Josie has in her collection of 92 coins 28 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are

The total number of coins Josie has = 92

Let the number of quarters she has = x

Therefore, 92 = 8 + 3×x

8 + 3×x = 92

3×x = 92 - 8 = 84

3×x = 84

x = 84/3 = 28

x = 28

The number of quarters Josie has in her collection of 92 coins = 28 quarters.

Let's simplify
Zielflug [23.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

=  \frac{1.5 \times  {10}^{4} \times 4.5 \times  {10}^{3}  }{2.5 \times 10 ^{2} }  \\ =  \frac{6.75 \times  {10}^{4 + 3} }{2.5 \times  {10}^{2} }  \\  = \frac{6.75 \times  {10}^{7} }{2.5 \times  {10}^{2} } \\  = 2.7 \times  {10}^{7 - 2}  \\  = 2.7 \times  {10}^{5}

Hope it will help :)
