a diagram below shows an artistic design,]
if the length of the outer square is 12" and the length of the inner square is 7" what is the area of the remaining glass when the smaller square is cut form the larger square?
well i multiplied 12*12
and 7*7
that gives me 144 and 49
144-49=95
so my area=49
You worked that correctly, but wrote down the wrong answer.
Answer is 95 sq in
oh i meant to put 95 but i was in my own world :/
what i don't undestand is a problem that is similar to this but has ab
if the sides of the sqaure are represented by a and b what is the area of the remaining glass when the smaller square is cut from the larger square? write answer in factored form
To find the area of the remaining glass when the smaller square is cut from the larger square, we need to calculate the difference between the areas of the two squares. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start by finding the area of the larger square. Since the length of the outer square is given as 12 inches, you can find the area by multiplying the length by itself: 12 * 12 = 144 square inches.
2. Next, calculate the area of the smaller square. The length of the inner square is given as 7 inches, so the area can be found by multiplying 7 by 7: 7 * 7 = 49 square inches.
3. Finally, subtract the area of the smaller square from the area of the larger square to find the area of the remaining glass: 144 - 49 = 95 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the remaining glass is 95 square inches.
