Question

Two square tables pushed together makes a rectangle that has a surface area of 338 inches squared. How long is each side of a square table ?

Answer 1

alright so are we supposed to find the length of the side of the square ??

Answer 2

Yeah sorry didn't put that

Answer 3

and area of rectangle = length * breadth
here length = 2x
and breadth = x
on multiplying length with breadth we get 2x^2 = area of rectangle

and area of rectnagle has been given as 338

so lets equate these
2x^2 = 338

on dividing both sides of equation with 2 get
x^2 = 169

and on putting a square root we get
x = 13

so sides of square are 13 inches
