Question

I need help with my math test pls and thank u soo much

Answer 1

From the square-shaped table below:

Provided that the area of the table is

`(144)/(64)\text{ square meters}`

To find the length of a side of the table, recall that the area of a square is expressed as

`\begin{gathered} area\text{ of square = L}^2 \\ where \\ L\Rightarrow length\text{ of a side} \end{gathered}`

This implies that

`\begin{gathered} (144)/(64)=L^2 \\ Take\text{ the square root of both sides,} \\ \sqrt{(144)/(64)}=√(L^2) \\ L=(12)/(8) \\ in\text{ its lowest term, we have} \\ L=(3)/(2)\text{ meters} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the length of a side is

`(3)/(2)\text{ meters}`

The third option is the correct option.
