There are two squares. One has a length of 8 inches and the other has a length that is half of the other square. What is the area of each square.First square: in²Second square: in²

Respuesta :

There are two squares and they have one side as follows: (Note! it is a square, so it will have two equal sides).

[tex]\begin{gathered} S_1=8in \\ S_2=\frac{1}{2}S_1=\frac{1}{2}(8in)=4in \end{gathered}[/tex]

We now have found the side of the two squares therefore we can now find the area of the two as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A_1=(S_1)^2=(8in)^2=64\text{ in}^2 \\ A_2=(S_2)^2=(4in)^2=16\text{ in}^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]

We have found the two areas of two squares.
