Answer:
x² - 4x + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
When multiplying binomials (two terms in an expression), use FOIL. It stands for the first, outside, inside, and last terms in each bracket.
(x−3)(x−1) Expand with FOIL
= x² - x - 3x + 3 Collect like terms
= x² - 4x + 3
If the polygons are similar, then the top side is equal to one half of the left side.
Since side (x -1) = 8, then x = 9.
We can solve this by drawing a triangle with three points. The first point at Fort Collins (F), the second at Cheyenne (C) and the third at Laramie (L).
The angle at F = 46.5, the angle at L = 43.6. We know the side opposite angle L = 3.2 (side FC), now we must solve for the side opposite angle F (side LC).
We can use the law of sines to solve this where:
sinA/a = sinB/b
sin43.6/ 3.2 = sin46.5/LC
LC = 3.2 (sin46.5/sin43.6)
LC = 3.37 inches
We are told 1 in = 10.6 miles, therefore:
3.37 inches x 10.6 miles/in = 36 miles from Laramie to Cheyenne.
