Based on the figure, the side lengths of the squares are labeled as follows:
- Side length of square A = a units
- Side length of square B = 21 units
- Side length of square C = 29 units
Given that the area of square B is 441 square units, we can find the value of side length b using the formula for the area of a square:
Area of square B = Side length of square B squared
441 = 21^2
441 = 441
Therefore, the side length of square B is indeed 21 units.
Given that the area of square C is 841 square units, we can find the value of side length c using the formula for the area of a square:
Area of square C = Side length of square C squared
841 = 29^2
841 = 841
Therefore, the side length of square C is indeed 29 units.
The correct values for the missing area and side lengths are:
- Area of square A: 400 square units
- Side length of square A: 20 units
In the figure below, A, B, and C represent the areas of the square with side lengths of a, b, and c, respectively. Is B = 441 square units and C = 841 units in the figure below, match the correct values to the missing area and side lengths.
