Answer:
The weight of square is 8 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The weight of the circle = 2 grams
The weight of the triangle = 4 grams
We need to find the weight of the square. Let the weight of each square is w.
On LHS, 2 circles and 4 squares are there.
On RHS, 2 squares, 4 triangles and 2 circles are there.
For a balanced position,
Weight on LHS = Weight on RHS
[tex]2\times \text{weight of circle}+4\times \text{weight of squares}=2\times \text{weight of squares}+4\times \text{weight of triangles }+2\times \text{weight of circle}[/tex]2(2)+4(w) = 2(w) + 4(4) +2(2)
4 + 4w = 2w +16 +4
4w-2w = 20-4
2w = 16
w = 8
So, weight of square is 8 grams.
