Question

The sides of square ABCD are extended by the sides of equal length to form square MWTH. If MA = 6 and the area of ABCD is 144 cm2, find the area of MWTH.

Answer 1

Since the area of ABCD is 144 cm^2, AB = 12 cm.
Find the area of a triangle with base 6 cm and height 18 cm.
Then multiply it by 4.
Then add it to 144 cm^2

Answer 2

thank you so much it was 360! <3

Answer 3

Yes, \(A = 360 ~cm^2 \)

Answer 4

You're welcome.
