Answer:

C. (3x2 - 10) (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^2 - 16x +20

Step 1: Sum = - 16x

Product = 60x^2

Step 2: Find 2 numbers that their sum is -16 and their product is 60. If you do that correctly, then you will get two numbers: 10 and -6

Step 3: Replace -16x with the two numbers found in step 2, then you will have; 3x^2 - 6x - 10x + 20

Step 4: Factorise the equation in step 3, like so;

(3x^2 - 6x)(- 10x + 20)

3x(x - 2) -10(x - 2)

(3x - 10)(x - 2)

To check if the answer is correct, expand the bracket: (3x - 10)(x - 2)

If the bracket is opened properly, you will get 3x^2 - 16x + 20

A) The area of a rectangle is A = lw, where l=length of the rectangle and w=width of the rectangle. You know the length of the gift shop, l = 20x + 24. You know the width, w = 36x - 20. Plug those expressions into the equation for area of a rectangle and multiply/foil:
$A = lw\\
A = (20x + 24)(36x - 20)\\
A = (20x)(36x) + (20x)(-20) + (24)(36x) + (24)(-20)\\
A = 720x^{2} - 400x + 864x - 480\\
A = 720x^{2} + 464x - 480$

The expression for the area of the gift shop is $720x^{2} + 464x - 480$ .

B) The equation for the perimeter of the gift shop is P = 2(l+w), where l = length and w = width. Plug your values for l and w into this equation:
$P = 2(l+w)\\
P = 2(20x + 24 + 36x - 20)\\
P = 2(56x + 4) = 2(56x) + 2(4)\\
P = 112x + 8$

The expression for the perimeter of the gift shop is 112x + 8

C) Since you know the perimeter is going to be 176 ft, that means P = 176. Plug that into the equation you found in part B, P = 112x + 8, and solve for x.
$P = 112x + 8\\
176 = 112x + 8\\
112x = 168
x = 1.5$

Once you solve for x, you can plug x into your equations for width and length to find the dimensions. x = 1.5, so:
1) L<span>ength = 20x+24 feet
</span>Length = 20(1.5) + 24 feet = 54 feet
2) Width = <span>36x-20 feet
Width = 36(1.5)-20 feet = 34 feet

Your dimensions are 54 feet (length) by 34 feet (width).</span>

<h3>Answer: Radius</h3>

Let point A be the center of the circle. Point B is somewhere on the circle edge. The distance from A to B is equal to the radius. The radius is half the diameter which spans the whole circle and it goes through the center. The circumference is the curved distance around the whole circle's perimeter.
