Answer:
The area of the trapezoid is 57.5 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The trapezoid QRST can be divided into a rectangle QRDT and an isosceles right triangle RSD
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
step 1
The area of rectangle is given by the formula

we have
----> altitude

substitute

step 2
Find the area of the isosceles right triangle
The area of triangle is given by the formula

we have
---> because is an isosceles triangle
substitute

step 3
Adds the areas

Answer:
368 sq. units.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a square of side lengths 20 units and we cut four congruent isosceles right triangles from the corners of the square.
Now, the four isosceles right triangles have one leg equal to 4 units.
Therefore, the area of four triangles =
sq. units.
Now, we have the area of the given square is (20 × 20) = 400 sq. units.
Therefore, the area of the remaining octagon will be (400 - 32) = 368 sq. units. (Answer)
So the question is asking: (x-4)(x-2)
because there is a bracket in between the two expressions it means we have to multiply them together: (x-4) x (x-2)
you can break down the question into smaller parts:
x multiply x
x multiply -2
-4 multiply x
-4 multiply -2
here are the answers:
x^2 (means x squared)
-2x
-4x
8 (because when you multiply two negative numbers it makes a positive)
now you put it into an expression (this is expanding):
x^2 - 2x - 4x + 8
to simplify it you collect like terms:
x^2 - 6x + 8
The above is the answer :)
