Let the weight of vesel = x kg Then, 1/4 of volume of water = (5.25 - x)kg Full volume of water = (16.5 - x)∴ 4(5.25 - x) = (16.5 - x)⇒ 21 - 4x = 16.5 - x ⇒ 21 - 16.5 = 3x ∴ x = 4.5/3 = 1.5 kg
Given expression = (11.98)² + (0.02)² + 11.98 x x.For the given expression to be a perfect square, we must have11.98 x x = 2 x 11.98 x 0.02 or x = 0.04
