Misty has several pieces of construction paper that each measure 4 inches long and 9 inches wide. she needs to create the smallest possible square without cutting or overlapping. what is the measure of the square's side lengths?

We are given that the dimensions are 4 in x 9 in. To get the smallest possible square, first let us find for the LCM of 4 and 9.

4 = 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36

9 = 0, 9, 18, 27, 36

We can actually see that 36 is the least common multiple.

Therefore the smallest possible square has a dimension of:

36 inches by 36 inches

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
