Candy draws a square design with a side length of x inches for the window at the pet shop. She takes the design to the printer and asks for a sign that has an area of 16x2 – 40x + 25 square inches. What is the side length, in inches, of the pet shop sign?
Answer:
the length of the sign is
inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Area of the square of design = 
First we find the roots of equation 
The roots of the quadratic equation
are given by

where 






That is, the factors of the polynomial
are
and
.
So, Area of the square design =
= 
Area of a square = Length^2
Thus, the length of the sign is
inches
For the 51-deg angle, y is the opposite leg, and 12 is the hypotenuse.
The trig ratio that relates the opposite leg and the hypotenuse is the sine.
sin A = opp/hyp
sin 51 deg = y/12
y = 12 * sin 51 deg
y = 9.3
