Answer:
24.3
Step-by-step explanation:
18/20 = x/20 (similar triangles)
This system can be a bit tricky unless you write it out:
(2n + 2)(2n - 2) ~ First you have to take one variable and multiply it to each of the other two variables, like:
2n * 2n ~ And:
2n * -2 ~ This gives you:
4n^2 - 4n
Now we do this with the other:
2 * 2n
2 * -2
4n - 4
Now we combine them both while adding like terms:
4n^2 - 4
Therefore your answer is: A. 4n^2 - 4
(This is due to how when having the positive 4n subtracted by the negative it cancels it out. Leaving us with the remaining two terms left.)
I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^

Option B:
The perimeter of ΔABC is 28 units.
Solution:
AD = 5, DC = 6 and AB = 8
AD and AE are tangents to a circle from an external point A.
BE and BF are tangents to a circle from an external point B.
CD and CF are tangents to a circle from an external point C.
<em>Tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal in length.</em>
⇒ AD = AE, BE = BF and CD = CF
AE = 5
AE + BE = AB
5 + BE = 8
Subtract 5 from both sides.
BE = 3
BE = BF
⇒ BF = 3
CD = CF
⇒ CF = 6
Perimeter of the polygon = AE + BE + BF + CF + CD + AD
= 5 + 3 + 3 + 6 + 6 + 5
= 28
The perimeter of ΔABC is 28 units.
Option B is the correct answer.
Answer:
2(2x + 5)(2x - 5)
Step-by-step explanation:
2(2x + 5)(2x - 5)
= (4x + 10)(2x - 5)
= 8x² - 20x + 20x - 50
= 8x² - 50
