Answer:

$x^{2}$ - 4x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-2) × (x-2)

(x × x) + (x × -2) + (-2 × x) + (-2 × -2)

( $x^{2}$ ) + (-2x) + (-2x) + (4)

$x^{2}$ - 2x - 2x + 4

$x^{2}$ - 4x + 4

A square carpet of side length 9 feet is designed with one large shaded square and eight smaller, congruent shaded squares, as s

Pepsi [2]

Answer:

$3\sqrt{3} + 72$

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached an image to aid the understanding of the question.

Looking at the image, we see that the 8 shaded parts are congruent, as affirmed in the question as well. And we are told that T = 3, this implies that the area of the square with T as it's side is 9ft². Since all the 8 squares are congruenrt, it means each square has its area to be 9. Therefore, the total area of the 8 shaded squares will be:

$9 \times 8 = 72ft^{2}$

It remains the area of the shaded square with side S.

From the question, we have the following ratio:

$\frac{9}{S} = \frac{S}{T}[\tex]But[tex]\frac{9}{S} = \frac{S}{3}[\tex]Multiplying through by 3S we have27 = S² and this gives:[tex]S = \sqrt{27} = 3\sqrt{3}$
