Answer:
Area of room = 21 * 16
= 336 m²
Area of Carpet = (21 - 1)* (16-1)
= 20*15
= 300
Area of border = Area of room - Area of carpet
= 336 - 300
<h3>= 36 m².</h3>
Answer:
B. 2x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:



This is a stupid question. The teacher who asked this needs to go back to school.
A = x⁴ - 9y²
That's going to be a number. As long as it's positive we can choose any length for our rectangle L and we can compute the width by W=A/L. So the correct answer is the dimensions are L by (x⁴ - 9y²)/L.
They don't want the correct answer. They want you to factor this expression. We'll do it, but don't believe for a second this factoring somehow constrains the possible dimensions of some rectangle.
We use the difference of two squares, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b)
A = x⁴ - 9y² = (x²)² - (3y)² = (x²+3y)(x²-3y)
Answer: x²+3y by x²-3y
This would equal about 23,900
i hope this helps you.
