Answer:

Explanation:

6):

Take the small right triangle with the sides 25 and 7.

☆ The Pythagorian theorem ☆

Let x be the third side.

● 25^2 = x^2 + 7^2

Substract 7^2 from both sides

● 25^2 -7^2 = x^2 +7^2 -7^2

● x^2 = 25^2 -7^2

● x^2 = 576

● x = 24 inches

The third that we find is the half of the side of the square.

Multiply it by 2 and get the side of the square.

● 24 × 2 = 48 inches

The perimeter of the square is the side times 4.

● P = 48 × 4

● P = 192 inches

7):

Both triangles are righr and they have a khown angle.

Start with the small one and calculte the third angle.

The sum of a triangle angles is 180°

Let B be the third angle.

● B = 180-(90+51) = 39°

That's equal to the second angle of the second's triangle.

So it's an AA similarity.

So:

● x/24 = 7/15

● x = (7/15)×24

● x = 11.2
