What is the area of the square below?

a. 16.97 cm.2
b. 72 cm.2
c 144 cm.2
d. 288 cm.2

288 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the square is 24 = 2 *12

We can use Pythagorean theorem to solve.

Let s= side length of the square

s^2 + s^2 = 24^2

2s^2 = 24^2

2s^2 =576

Divide each side by 2

2/2s^2 =576/2

s^2 = 288

Take the square root each side

sqrt(s^2) = sqrt(288)

s = 16.97056275

s = 16.97 cm

We want to find the area

A =s^2

A = 16.97 ^2

A = 288 cm^2

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.

9 sandwiches per hour

step-by-step explanation:

when we have a rate, we want a 1 in the denominator

27/3 = 9

27 sandwiches/ 3 hours = 9 sandwiches/hour
