In the magic square shown, the sums of the numbers in each row, column and diagonal are the same. what are the values of x, y, z, v,

, , , , ;; to find the answer, set the expressions equal to each other, since the sum of the numbers should be the same.

Use  and solve for , which would result in .

You can also use  to find – or .

Plug in the values for  and , and find  using  or  and results in .

After plugging in the  value, you can easily find  and .

– since 66 is the sum of a full row, and the sums of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal are the same, so therefore,  should also equal 66. This results in , and, using the same value for the sum of , or , we find that .

The final answer is , , , , .

Sorry it took so long;; I hope this helps :)

A=LW

W=A/L

P=2L+2W, using W found above we have:

P=2L+2A/L

P=(2L^2+2A)/L, and we are told that L=9ft and A=72ft^2 so

P=(2*81+2*72)/9

P=34ft
