A piece of cloth is folded into a square with a side length measuring x inches. When it is unfolded, it has an area of x2 + 27x

+ 162 square inches.
Please answer ..
Which could be the dimensions of the rectangular piece of cloth when it is unfolded? Remember, the area of a rectangle can be determined using the formula A = lw.

length = (x + 9) inches and width = (x + 3) inches
length = (x − 3) inches and width = (x − 9) inches
length = (x + 18) inches and width = (x + 9) inches
length = (x − 9) inches and width = (x − 18) inches

A piece of cloth is folded into a square with a side length measuring x inches. When it is unfolded, it has an area of x2 + 27x + 162 square inches. Since the area for square is x times x then equate the given equation to the area fomula.
(x2 + 27x + 162) = 0(x + 9) (x + 18) = 0The dimensions are 9 and 18

Answer:

C. Length is (x+18) inches and width is (x+9) inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the side of the cloth is 'x' inches.

As, the area of the cloth is x^{2}+27x+162.

Equating the polynomial by 0, we will find the roots of the equation.

i.e. x^{2}+27x+162=0

Solution of the quadratic equation is given by,

x=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{27^{2}-4\times 1\times 162}}{2\times 1}

i.e. x=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{729-648}}{2}

i.e. x=\frac{-27\pm \sqrt{81}}{2}

i.e. x=\frac{-27+9}{2} and x=\frac{-27-9}{2}

i.e. x=\frac{-18}{2} and x=\frac{-36}{2}

i.e. x= -9 and x= -18

As, the area of rectangle is L × W.

So, we have the area of the cloth is (x+9)(x+18).

Thus, the length is (x+18) inches and width is (x+9) inches.

4p + 1 = 10

      -1     -1

4p = 9

Divide 4 on both sides

p = 9/4 or 2.25

Line A is represented by the equation given below:
MrMuchimi
To have infinitely many solutions they must describe the same line.  So any multiple or fraction of the reference line would indeed describe the same line, and thus "intersect" at each and every of an infinite number of points.

2(x+y=4)

2x+2y=8  (is the same line as x+y=4)
