Answer:

1.5m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the pathway across all its side be x. This means we are adding a length of 2x to both the length and breadth to 12+2x and 16+2x respectively.

The new area thus becomes:

(12+2x)(16+2x) = 285

24x + 32x + 192 + 4x^2 = 285

4x^2 + 56x + 192 = 285

4x^2 + 56x + 192 - 285 =0

4x^2 + 56x -93 = 0

4x^2 + 62x - 6x - 93 = 0

2x( 2x + 31) - 3(2x + 31) = 0

(2x - 3)(2x + 31) = 0

This means x = 3/2 or -31/2

Since length cannot be negative , we choose the first and neglect the second meaning our answer is 3/2 which is 1.5 meters

Answer:

(t^2 -4) (t^2 +4)

(t-2)(t+2)(t^2+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

t^4 - 16

We can write this as the difference of squares

We know the dfference of squares is

(a^2 - b^2) = (a-b) (a+b)

( t^2 ^2 - 4^2) = (t^2 -4) (t^2 +4)

We can write t^2 -4 as the difference of squares

t^2 -4 = t^2 -2^2 = (t-2)(t+2)

Replacing this in

( t^2 ^2 - 4^2) = (t^2 -4) (t^2 +4) =  (t-2)(t+2)(t^2+4)
