<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)
</span>

The first term is, <span> <span>x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 1 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -9x </span> its coefficient is <span> -9 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -36 </span>

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 1</span> • -36 = -36</span> 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -36  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is  <span> -9 </span>.

<span><span>     -36   +   1   =   -35</span><span>     -18   +   2   =   -16</span><span>     -12   +   3   =   -9   That's it</span></span>


Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -12  and  3 
                     <span>x2 - 12x</span> + 3x - 36

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
                    x • (x-12)
              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
                    3 • (x-12)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
                    (x+3)  •  (x-12)
             Which is the desired factorization

Final result :<span> (x + 3) • (x - 12)</span>

A composite figure is divided into two congruent trapezoids, each with a height of 4 cm.
lidiya [134]

Answer:

The area of this composite figure is 64\ cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If the composite figure is divided into two congruent trapezoids, then the area of the composite figure is equal to the area of one trapezoid multiplied by two

so

The area of the composite figure is

A=2[\frac{1}{2}(b1+b2)h]

A=(b1+b2)h

substitute the values

A=(6+10)4

A=64\ cm^{2}
