8. The three squares below join together to form a right triangle. The area and the perimeter for two of the squares is shown. Find the side length of
the largest square.
Х
Area:
81 in?
Perimeter: 48 in.

x = 15 in

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the Pythagorean Theorem because you know the legs of the triangle and need to find the hypotenuse

the left leg of the triangle is 9 because 9² = 81

the bottom leg of the triangle is 12 because 48/4 = 12

9² + 12² = x²

81 + 144 = x²

225 = x²

√225 = x

15 = x

1; 35 is the ratio
