Math Problem Statement

square * square + circle == 16 triangle * triangle * triangle == 27 triangle * square == 6

Solution

Let's break down the system of equations involving the square, circle, and triangle.

We have the following equations:

  1. square2+circle=16\text{square}^2 + \text{circle} = 16
  2. triangle3=27\text{triangle}^3 = 27
  3. triangle×square=6\text{triangle} \times \text{square} = 6

Let's solve these step by step.

Step 1: Solve for the triangle

From the second equation: triangle3=27\text{triangle}^3 = 27 Taking the cube root of both sides: triangle=273=3\text{triangle} = \sqrt[3]{27} = 3

Step 2: Solve for the square

Now, using the value of the triangle in the third equation: triangle×square=6\text{triangle} \times \text{square} = 6 Substitute triangle=3\text{triangle} = 3: 3×square=63 \times \text{square} = 6 Divide by 3: square=63=2\text{square} = \frac{6}{3} = 2

Step 3: Solve for the circle

Using the value of the square in the first equation: square2+circle=16\text{square}^2 + \text{circle} = 16 Substitute square=2\text{square} = 2: 22+circle=162^2 + \text{circle} = 16 4+circle=164 + \text{circle} = 16 Subtract 4 from both sides: circle=164=12\text{circle} = 16 - 4 = 12

Final Answer

  • Square = 2
  • Circle = 12
  • Triangle = 3
