The Combined Area Of Two Squares Is 45 Square Centimeters. Each Side Of One Square Is Twice As Long As A Side Of The Other Square. What Is The Length
The combined area of two squares is 45 square centimeters. Each side of one square is twice as long as a side of the other square. What is the length of each side of the larger square?
Answer:
6 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = side of smaller square
Let 2x = side of larger square
Therefore, we can create an equation (x)² + (2x)² = 45
Solving for x:
(x)² + (2x)² = 45
x² + 4x² = 45
5x² = 45
x² = 9
x = 3
Side Length of Larger Square = 2x = 2(3) = 6 cm
Hope this helps!
