Ok so this is a difference of 2 perfect squares
1=1^2
49c^2=(7c)^2
to factor you remember
a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b) so
1^2-(7c)^2=(1+7c)(1-7c)
Answer: It is one-half the area of a rectangle with sides 2 units × 3 units.
It is twice the area of a square of side length 3 units.
It is one-half the area of a square of side length 3 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Your octagon has a central angle of 360 deg. Since you're speaking of an octagon, which implies that the octagon is made up of eight triangles, divide 360 deg by 8 to obtain the measure of each minor arc formed.
I guess that's all you can do
to find a and b you need more information
b=-a -> a (x-3)-a (x-2)=3
a [x-3-(x-2)]=3
a (x-3-x+2)=3
a*(-1)=3
a=3:(-1)
a=-3
b=-a=-(-3)=3
