Question

a square with an area of 144 cm² is reduced by a factor of 1/3 how long are the new sides of the square?​

Answer 1

Answer:

4  cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 144 is 12 (12 x 12 = 144) so we know our sides of the square are 12 cm²

12 / 3 = 4

($\frac{12}{1} x \frac{1}{3}$)

The sides of the new square are 4 :)

Hope this helps and is correct, have a nice day! :D
