Question

If the area of square 3 is 80 cm2 and the area of square 2 is 100 cm2, what is the area of square 1?

Answer 1

Answer: 180cm^2

Explanation:

The equation is a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 = area of square 3 = 80cm^2

b^2 = area of square 2 = 100cm^2

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 = 80 + 100 = 180cm^2

So answer is 180cm^2
