A square has 4 right angles and 4 equal sides.
If you draw a diagonal through the square then you get two right triangles. So the area relation between a square and a right triangle is going to be half. The area of the triangle is half the area of the square.
Also the formula for area of a square is length times width.
And the formula for the area of a right triangle is 0.5 times length times width.
So if you set up the equation (let's use * as multiplication symbol ):
Area of a Square : Area of a Right Triangle
length * width : 0.5 * length * width
(Divide by length * width on both sides)
1:0.5 or 2:1
First, subtract both sides by 25:
x^2 - 6x = -25
Because we're completing the square, we subtract both sides by 9:
x^2 - 6x - 9 = -34
(x - 3) = 5.831 (about)
x = 8.831
1. To find the length of the edge, you will divide the total distance of 36 cm between the 4 edges that are shown.
36/4 = 9 cm per edge.
2. To find the surface area, find the area of one square (9 cm x 9 cm = 81 square cm), and multiply it by 6.
81 square cm x 6 = 486 square cm
486 square cm is the surface area.
Answer:
In step 5, andrew made a mistake by subtracting 9.8 instead of adding 9.8. Andrew should've have obtained the answer -2, but because of his mistake the answer is incorrect.
