Answer 1

@ganeshie8

Answer 2

all sides are equal in a square

Answer 3

if one side is \(a\), all other sides also will be \(a\)

Answer 4

use pythagora

Answer 5

So would the equation be a^2+a^2=55^2

Answer 6

perfect ! thats the equation, good work !

Answer 7

ohh i cant believe i didn't get that

Answer 8

the next question tells me to solve the equation and round to the nearest 10th

Answer 9

a^2+a^2=55^2
a^2+a^2=3025

Answer 10

a^2+a^2=55^2

2a^2 = 55^2

a^2 = 55^2/2

a = 55/sqrt(2)

Answer 11
