Asquare with sides of length 5 is positioned inside a square with sides of length 7. what is
the total area between the squares?

24cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let square with length 5cm be represented with A, and square with 7cm be represented with B.

Area of a square is L²

Square A will have an area of 5² = 25cm²

Square B will have an area of 7² = 49cm²

Total area between the two squares will be = Area of Square (B - A)

i.e.

Total Area = 49cm² - 25cm² = 24cm²

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
