Answer:
La²+8La+16 = La²+70
Step-by-step explanation:
8La+16 = 70
8La=70-16
La=54/8
La= 6.75
Area b = (6.75+4)*(6.75+4)
Area b = 10.75*10.75
Area b =115.563
The area of a square is the square of its side lengths
The area of square B is 116 centimeter square
Let the side length of square A be (a), and the side length of square B be (b)
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{A_a = a^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{A_b = b^2}[/tex]
From the question, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{A_b = 70 + a^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{b = 4 + a}[/tex]
Take square of both sides
[tex]\mathbf{b^2 = (4 + a)^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{b^2 = 16 + 8a+ a^2}[/tex]
Substitute [tex]\mathbf{b^2 = 16 + 8a+ a^2}[/tex] in [tex]\mathbf{A_b = b^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{A_b = 16 + 8a+ a^2}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{16 + 8a+ a^2 = 70 + a^2}[/tex]
Subtract a^2 from both sides
[tex]\mathbf{16 + 8a = 70}\\[/tex]
Subtract 16 from both sides
[tex]\mathbf{8a = 54}[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8
[tex]\mathbf{a = 6.75}[/tex]
Recall that:
[tex]\mathbf{A_b = 70 + a^2}[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]\mathbf{A_b = 70 + 6.75^2}[/tex]
[tex]\mathbf{A_b = 115.5625}[/tex]
Approximate
[tex]\mathbf{A_b = 116}[/tex]
Hence, the area of square B is 116 centimeter square
