First do cross multiplication

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

32*3 = x*x \( 96 = x^2 \)

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Now take square root of both sides and it will give you the value of x can you do it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i get x^2 = 96

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

\[\sqrt{x^2 } = \sqrt{96}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=9.79

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Right!

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Or just 9.8 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the multiple choices are 96 48 4 square root 6 6 sqare root 4

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

Oh so you don't need to convert your answer into decimals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is A

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

\[96 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3\]\[\sqrt{96}=\sqrt{ 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3} =\sqrt{2^2 \times 2^2 \times 2 \times 3}=4 \sqrt{6}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4√6
