Answer:
x=4.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
36 tiles
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find area of the square floor knowing the formula as;
Area= 
where s= side of a square.
If one side of the floor is 12 feet, then Area= 
Next, find the area of each tile using the same formula and given s=2 feet;
Area(tile) = 
To find the number of tiles needed to cover entire floor, divide area of the floor by area of one tile; 144 / 4 = 36 tiles
This is a stupid question. The teacher who asked this needs to go back to school.
A = x⁴ - 9y²
That's going to be a number. As long as it's positive we can choose any length for our rectangle L and we can compute the width by W=A/L. So the correct answer is the dimensions are L by (x⁴ - 9y²)/L.
They don't want the correct answer. They want you to factor this expression. We'll do it, but don't believe for a second this factoring somehow constrains the possible dimensions of some rectangle.
We use the difference of two squares, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)
A = x⁴ - 9y² = (x²)² - (3y)² = (x²+3y)(x²-3y)
Answer: x²+3y by x²-3y
