HELP PLEASE!!! The area of a square is (16x2 − 8x + 1) square units. Determine the length of each side of the square by factorin
g the area expression completely.

Answer:
Length of each side = (4x-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
You could use the Quadratic formula to solve this, but there is a bit of a logical/intuitive gap you have to jump over at the end to get the answer.
For a straightforward mathematical explanation of what the area is equal to, you need to complete the square. From there you acknowledge that a square's sides are equal to each other and then you'll have your lengths.

Answer:
Jude is not correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a square pyramid is given as:
where a = base edge and h = height
Hence, the volume of the square pyramid with base edge of 7 in and height of 7 in is:
V = ≅
The volume of a cylinder is given as:
where r = radius and h = height
Hence, the volume of a cylinder with radius of 7 in and height of 7 in is:
V = ≅
Since their volumes are not equal, Jude is not correct.
