A square orange rug has a green square in the center. The side length of the green square is x inches. The width of the orange band that surrounds the green square is 12 in. What is the area of the orange band?

The area of the orange band is 576 + 48x square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Area of the green square

The area of the green square =

The area of the green square  =   square inches

Step 2: Area of the orange square

The area of the orange square =

The side of the orange square  =  12+12 + x = 24 +x

Now the area of the orange square  =

Step 3: The area of the orange band

Area of the orange band =  area of the orange square - area of the green square

Area of the orange band =  

expanding and solving the equation we get

square inches

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
