Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a square is the square of the side length. When the side length x=2.5 cm, the area is the square of that value.
__
A(x) = x²
A(2.5 cm) = (2.5 cm)² = 6.25 cm²
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The "square" of a variable is that variable to the second power. The terms 2x or 4x are linear terms with the variable to the first power, do not represent the area of a square.
The equation A(x) = 4x² introduces a multiplier of 4 that is not applicable to the area of a square based on side length. (The formula might be useful if x represents the distance from one side to the center of the square, the radius of an inscribed circle, for example.)
Answer:
Eight pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
Create a number line running from 0 to 4/6.
Label the divisions as 1/6, 2/6, 3/6, and 4/6.
Divide each section in half to get small pieces of length 1/12.
Starting at zero, move to 4/6 on the number line and count the number of pieces as you go.
You count eight pieces, so Dario has eight pieces of rope.
