The area of a square is
s • s
We can also write this as
s^2
So, for any side length “s”, we can make a function, A(s), such that
A(s) = s^2
Now that we have a quadratic equation for the area of a square, let’s go ahead and solve for the side lengths of a square with a given area. In this case, 225 in^2
225 = s^2
Therefore,
s = sqrt(225)
s = 15
So, the dimensions are 15 x 15 in
Answer:
20.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)
bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)
Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)
Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;
(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:
ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72
Slope formula:
