Using Pythagorean thereon






Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² - 13x + 30
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 30) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 13)
The factors are - 3 and - 10, since
- 3 × - 10 = + 30 and - 3 - 10 = - 13 , thus
x² - 13x + 30 = (x - 3)(x - 10) ← in factored form
Thus (x - 3) is a factor of the polynomial → A
So you need to make out the lengths for the triangle. For the height, you can subtract the short length (100) from the longer length (1250) to get the height of the triangle. The base is the length at the very top, 75. So right now you have 150 for height and 75 for the base. Now use the formula to get 75 root 5.
You only have variables, so this problem is unsolvable
