Answer:

Hi,

a=b+3

Step-by-step explanation:

\begin{array}{c||c|c|c|c}&x^3&x^2&x&1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a&b&c\\x=-1&&-1&a+1&-a-b-1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a-1&a+b+1&c-a-b-1\\\end{array}

\begin{array}{c||c|c|c|c}&x^3&x^2&x&1\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&-a&b&c\\x=2&&2&4-2a&2b+8-4a\\---&---&---&---&---\\&1&2-a&b+4-2a&c+2b+8-4a\\\end{array}

Thus:

c+2b+8-4a=c-a-b-1

3b-3a=-9

<u>a=b+3</u>

Since the shape is a square, it has 90° angles.

if cut in half, it creates a 45-45-90 triangle.
using this, you can use the ratio of 1:sqrt2 to find x. so the ratio would be x:6 to 1:sqrt2.

divide 6 by sqrt2 to find x, and then rationalize for it to become 6sqrt2/2, which would simplify even further to 3sqrt2
