Question

A square is cut diagonally into two equal parts. If each part has an area of 50cm^2, then what is the perimeter of each part?

50 points the answer isnt 30 so dont say it is because it isnt

Answer 1

Answer:

its 25.

Step-by-step explanation:because 50 divided by 2 is 25.

Answer 2

Answer:

40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find the side length of the square

Let the side be "s".

$\rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \times s \times s = 50 \ \text{cm}^{2}$

$\rightarrow s \times s = 50 \times 2$

$\rightarrow s \times s = 100$

$\rightarrow \sqrt{s \times s} = \sqrt{100}$

$\rightarrow s = \±10$

$\rightarrow s = 10 \ \text{units}$                                      (Side lengths can never be negative)

2) Find the perimeter of the square

$\text{Perimeter of square = 4(s) = 4(10) = 40 units}$
