Answer:
121..??
Step-by-step explanation:
This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
Well first you would find the area of the square on the bottom
Which would be:
0.7*0.7= .49
Then we would find the area of one of the triangles on the side:
8*0.7= 5.6* 1/2= 2.8
Next, you will multiply the 2.8 by 4, because there are 4 triangles:
2.8*4=11.2
Finally add the 11.2 to the area of the square, and you'll have your answer.
.49+11.2= 11.69
So, B is your answer
