Carmel want to mount an 18cm by 18cm square on a square board that is four times the area of the picture.

a) What is the area for the picture.

b)What is the area of the board

c)What are the dimensions of the board.

Way to get this

1. To get the answer for a) you have to multiply 18cm by 18cm and you get the answer
2. To get the answer for b) you mulitply the area of the board which is 324 by 4 because the area of the board is 4 times of the picture
3. To get the dimension of the board you find the square root of 1296cm which is 36cm. You have to do this in your calculator.

Parent Quiz

a(squared) + b(squared) = C(squared)
This Pythagorean Relationship means that the legs of the right triangle together equals to the hypotenuse, which is the longest side length of the right triangle. If the side lengths of the right triangle were not squared you would have to square them.Squared means to times it's number by it self, so it would be 6x6. So now you multiply the numbers, so oyu would multiply them 6x6 equals 36 and the other leg and together it would equal the hypotenuse.
