Question

If the area of square 1 is 25 units square, and the area of square 2 is 16 units square, what is the perimeter of square 3

Answer 1

12 units²

Explanation:

4^2+b^2=5^2

b=25-16

b^2=9

b=√9

b=3

there are 4 sides in a square so 3•4=12

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

If square 1's area is 25, that must mean its side is 5

If square 2's area is 16, that must mean its side is 4

Since it looks like its going in order, square 3's side is 3, and since there's 4 sides to a square, the perimeter is 12.
