4. Add your answers from 1 and 2 then compare the result with your answer to 3. How do they compare? (1 point)

3 answers

3. SHOW YOUR WORK:
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of one side of Square C.

Let's call the length of one side of Square C "x".

The diagonal of Square C is 20 meters.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:

x^2 + x^2 = 20^2

2x^2 = 400

x^2 = 200

x = √200

x ≈ 14.14

The area of Square C is given by x^2:

Area = (14.14)^2

Area ≈ 200 acres

4. The areas of Square A and Square B are 16 acres and 9 acres respectively. The sum of these areas is 16 + 9 = 25 acres. This is less than the area of Square C which is approximately 200 acres.
THAT MAKES NO SENCE I NEED YOU TO USE 16 A AND B 9 THE Pythagorean Theorem to find the area of Field C in acres THEN YOU . Add your answers from 1 and 2 then compare the result with your answer to 3. How do they compare?
I apologize for the confusion. Let's do the calculation again using the given values.

1. The number of squares inside Field A is 16.
Area of Square A = 16 acres.

2. The number of squares inside Field B is 9.
Area of Square B = 9 acres.

3. Let's find the area of Field C using the Pythagorean Theorem.
In Square C, one side is the hypotenuse and the other two sides are equal.

Let's call the length of one side of Square C "x".
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

x^2 + x^2 = (20)^2

2x^2 = 400

x^2 = 200

x = √200

The area of Square C is given by x^2:

Area of Square C ≈ (√200)^2 ≈ 200 acres.

4. The sum of the areas of Square A and Square B is:
16 + 9 = 25 acres.

Comparing this with the area of Square C (which is approximately 200 acres), we can see that the sum of the areas of Square A and Square B (25 acres) is significantly smaller than the area of Square C.
