Help I don't understand

x = 9.9 in.

2 of the same type of triangle = 1 square

To find x, you have to remember that a square is made from two right triangles combined. In this photo, we can see that the length and width of the triangle have the same value (the two sides that point up and to the right), so that means if we multiply the area by two, then we get the area of a square or two of the same triangle's area.

Step 1:

To find the area of the square/two triangles, multiply the area by two.

98 is the area of the square.

Step 2:

Now we have to find the square of 98 (find two numbers that are the same that multiply to 98).

When we solve this square, we find out that it is not a perfect number. So:

That is just an estimate of x, so when we round to the nearest tenth, we get 9.9.

To check our answer, multiply 9.9 by 9.9 and we get 98.01, but since we rounded our answer, 98.01 is correct. If we round that to 98 and divide by 2, we get our original area of one triangle, 49.

x = 9.9

9.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Well let's work backwards.

If the area is 49 then we do 49*2 because after doing b*h you divide by 2.

So 49*2 = 98.

If the b and h is the same then we find the square root of 98,

which is 9.899494937.

Thus,

the answer is 9.9 rounded to the nearest tenth.

Hope this helps :)
