Determine the length
![**Determine the Length of the Line Segment(s)**
1. The diagram consists of two adjoining squares along a line segment AB. The left square, shaded green, has an area of 27 square units. The right square, shaded orange, has an area of 12 square units.
- **Square on the Left:**
- Area: 27 units²
- Side Length: √27 = 3√3 units
- **Square on the Right:**
- Area: 12 units²
- Side Length: √12 = 2√3 units
Since the squares are placed side-by-side along line AB, the length of AB is the sum of the side lengths of the two squares:
- Total Length of AB: 3√3 + 2√3 = 5√3 units
This setup helps in visualizing the relation of square areas to their side lengths and understanding the addition of line segments from geometrical areas.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa6fffe07-0182-49b4-949f-7de773e92073%2F7b8db4fa-fa0b-4862-be30-2eb70d0f5312%2F68tlrjr_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
