I did but then I erased it. I didn't think it was the correct way to go. But I didn't understand the question from the beginning. But I get it know thanks. :smile:

I think so probably by rearranging the formula? If I'm right?

See if you could set the equation up, we can work from there.

For the third question, remember that the corners of a square are 90 degrees. Then, using angle rules, see if you can work out what x is. :smile:
