280 meters wide.
Step 1: Convert kilometers to meters. 1.48=1480
Step 2: Multiply the side length that you have by 2. 2x460=920
Step 3: Subtract 920 from 1480. 1480-920=560.
Step 4: Divide 560 by 2. 560/2=280
There is your answer!
Can you take the quantity [ x + y ] and square it ?
Can you take the quantity [ x + 2y ] and square it ?
Then you should have no trouble with the square of (.9x + .8y) .
The square of any binomial (expression with 2 terms) is
(square of the first term)
+ (square of the second term)
+ 2 times (product of the terms) .
You can use estimation.
80×130=10,400
Clearly 10,400 and 94 are way off.
