No, the sum of the areas of two smaller squares is not equal to the
area of a large square
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem let us do these steps
1. Find the area of the larger square
2. Find the area of the two smaller squares
3. Add the areas of the two smaller squares
4. Compare between the sum of the areas of the 2 smaller squares
and the area of the larger square
The area of a square is s²
The length of the side of the larger square is 8 feet
∵ s = 8 feet
∴ Area of the larger square = (8)² = 64 feet²
The lengths of the sides of the smaller squares are 5 feet and 3 feet
∵ s = 5 feet
∴ The area of one of the smaller square = (5)² = 25 feet²
∵ s = 3 feet
∴ The area of the other smaller square = (3)² = 9 feet²
The sum of the areas of the two smaller squares = 25 + 9 = 34 feet²
∵ The area of the larger square is 64 feet²
∵ The sum of the areas of the two smaller squares is 34 feet²
∵ 64 ≠ 34
∴ The sum of the areas of two smaller squares is not equal to the
area of a large square
No, the sum of the areas of two smaller squares is not equal to the
area of a large square
