Step-by-step explanation:

the area is

length × width

(3x - 2) × width = 9x² - 4

to find width we could do a real polynomial division or simply recognize the fact that

(a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²

and we see that in our area calculation we are missing the (a + b) factor.

so, width = (3x + 2)

but if you want the division :

9x² - 4 : 3x - 2 = 3x + 2

- 9x² - 6x

-----------------

0 6x - 4

- 6x - 4

----------------------

0 0

again, width = (3x + 2)

Answer:

EF = 9

GF = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For EF, we want to find the distance between their c coordinates, since their y coordinates are the same. We want the distance between -4 and 5, which when you add their distance from 0, is 9.

For GF, they share the same x coordinate, so you're finding the distance between their y coordinates, which are 3 and 5. The distance between the two is 2, so the length of GF is 2.

Answer:

D = 2.0 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll find the length using Distance Formula:

Distance Formula = $\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}$
