Answer:
c. 441ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Area is height times length and since it's a square, safe to say that the sides are equal in length. So square root both of the given areas of the 2 square:
= 29
= 20
Now u have side b and c of the triangle, it's a right triangle so use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 20^2 = 29^2
a^2 + 400 = 841
subtract 4 from both sides
a^2 = 441
square root both sides
a = 21
Now the side a of the triangle is also a side of the small square therefore
21^2 = 441
Solution: We are given that the population of Virginia is 8 million.
Let x be the population of Nevada.
We are given population of Virginia is 2.8 million less than 4 times the population of Nevada.
The first step is to on both sides.
add 2.8
The second step is to on both sides.
divide 4
The population of Nevada is million.
