A square has an area of 289 sq cm. what is the length of one side

1 answer:

5 0

For this problem you can do it one of two ways. The first way would be simply take the square root because the area of a square is one side squared. The other way using the same rule would be to go up from a reasonable number and square it, if that is not the number you are looking for add 1 to the original number and square it again. if you cannot square and square root in your head, you should be allowed to use a calculator to get the answer or 17 as the length of a side.

Is 976 -522 more or less than 400? Explain how you can tell without actually subtracting.

liq [111]

You can round 976 to 1000 and 522 to 500. So it would be
1000 - 500 = 500. The answer you would get after subtracting 976-522 would be more than 400 if you round it.

One angle in an obtuse isosceles triangle measures 40°. What are the measures of the other two angles?

Damm [24]

An obtuse triangle has one obtuse angle, or an angle that measures more than 90° but less than 180°. Options 1 and 2 are not correct, because these are acute angles.
So, one of the angles must be 40°, and the other may be 100° or 120°.
The measures of the angles in a triangle add up to 180°.
$40^\circ + 40^\circ +x = 180^\circ \\
80^\circ + x=180^\circ \\
x=180^\circ - 80^\circ \\
x=100^\circ$
The other two angles are 40° and 100°.
