The expansion of a perfect square is
In words, the square of a sum of two terms is the sum of the squares of the two terms ( and
), plus twice the product of the two terms (
)
So, when determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, you should have two perfect squares. Note that they don't have to be the first and third term, since you can rearrange terms as you prefer.
Answer:
38%
Step-by-step explanation:
Original price = $ 80
Price after reduction = $ 49.60
Reduction = 80 - 49.60 = $30.40
Percentage of decrease =
= 38%
The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.
<h3>Quadrilaterals</h3>There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram. Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle, the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.
The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.
For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus, from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.
A=b*h
18=(W+17)*W
18=W²+17W
W²+17W-18=0
Solving this quadratic equation, you have:
w1=1 and w2= -18
For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.
As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.
18=l*w
18=l*1
l=18 in
