the perimeters of two squares are 60 meters and 144 meters respectively. find the perimeter of another square equal in area to the sum of the first two squares

Perimeter of new square =  156 m

Step-by-step explanation:

First square:

 Perimeter = 60 m

 4 * side = 60 m

side = 60/4

side = 15 m

Area of first square = side * side = 15 * 15 = 225 m²

Second square:

 Perimeter = 144 m

 4 * side = 144 m

side = 144/4

side = 36 m

Area of second square = side * side = 36 * 36 = 1296 m²

New square:

Area of new square = area of first square + area of second square

                                  = 225 + 129

Area of new square = 1521 m²

   side * side = 1521

    side = √1521 = √39*39

     side = 39 m

Perimeter of new square = 4 * 39 = 156 m

right

step-by-step explanation:

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
