Answer:

length of side of square = (4x - 5) inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

Area of square = 16x² – 40x + 25

Let's find the roots of this quadratic equation [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

Thus;

x = [-(-40) ± √((-40)² - 4(16 × 25)]/(2×16)

x = [40 ± √(1600 - 1600)]/32

x = (40 ± 0)/32

x = 40/32

x = 5/4

Thus, the factors of the polynomial are;

(4x - 5)²

So,

Area = 16x² – 40x + 25 = (4x - 5)²

Since, the right hand side is (4x - 5)² and area of square is (length of side)², thus we can say that length of side of square is (4x - 5) inches

If BC = 6.5, CD = 7.8, and AD = 12.2, find AB to the nearest tenth.
Sladkaya [172]
This can be solved using the angle bisector theorem. Note that line segment AD is the angle bisector of triangle DAB from angle DAB. Therefore, we know that the ratios \frac{\text{AD}}{\text{CD}} and \frac{\text{AB}}{\text{CB}} are equal. Solving, we get \frac{\text{12.2}}{\text{7.8}}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{6.5}}. Cross multiplying, we get 79.3 = 7.8x, and solving this equation we get x = 10.1666... \approx 10.2. 10.2 is your answer.
