The diagonal of a square is x units. What is the area of the square in terms of x? One-half x squared square units x squared square units 2x square units One-half x square units

1/2x^2 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

square units        [one-half x squared square units]

Step-by-step explanation:

As shown in the diagram attached to this response,

Since a square has all sides equal, let the sides of the square be each of a units.

The area, A, of the square = a x a = a²

i.e

A = a²    --------------(i)

Now,

The diagonal is x units such that applying Pythagoras rule gives;

x² = a² + a²

x² = 2a²

a² =           ----------------(ii)

Substitute the value of a² in equation (ii) into equation (i) to get;

A =

Therefore, the area of the square is square units

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
