What is the area of the square below?

a. 16.97 cm.2
b. 72 cm.2
c 144 cm.2
d. 288 cm.2

288 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of the square is 24 = 2 *12

We can use Pythagorean theorem to solve.

Let s= side length of the square

s^2 + s^2 = 24^2

2s^2 = 24^2

2s^2 =576

Divide each side by 2

2/2s^2 =576/2

s^2 = 288

Take the square root each side

sqrt(s^2) = sqrt(288)

s = 16.97056275

s = 16.97 cm

We want to find the area

A =s^2

A = 16.97 ^2

A = 288 cm^2

the correct answer is the second option

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer
