Question

Can someone help me ASAP

Answer 1

a 25 square units

Explanation:

first find the length of the two sides of the triangle (sides of square 1 and 2)

the perimeter of a square is the length of the side × 4

so to find the length of the side, divide the perimeter by 4

perimeter of square 1: 12 units

divide it by 4: 3 units, so that's the length of side 1

perimeter of square 2: 16 units

divide it by 4: 4 units, so that's the length of side 2

now use a2 + b2 = c2

3 squared + 4 squared = c2

and solve

9 + 16 = c2

25 = c2

square root of 25 = square root of c2

5 = c

So now multiply 5 × 5 to find the area of the square

25

Answer 2

20 square units

Explanation:

`c = \sqrt{ax^(2) + bx^(2)} = \sqrt{12x^(2) + 16x^(2)} = 20`
