I need help, please answer A and B.

a. 81 square inches

b. 108 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of all 5 squares combined is 405 square inches. This is 5 times the area of 1 square. 405/5 = 81. The area of 1 square is 81 square inches.

Since this is a square, the sides are equal. Thankfully the area of 1 square is a perfect square so the length of one side of the square is a full number, which is 9. All of the squares are congruent as shown in the diagram so we simply add every length together (there are 12 sides, each side is 9 inches).

12*9 = 108 and that is the perimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 405/5 = 81

a =81 square inches

p = √81

= 9

=4×9×5

=180 inches

answer:   x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11

step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 9 = 11

(x - 3)² = 11

x - 3 = ±√11

    x = 3 ± √11

x = 3 + √11     and     x = 3 - √11
