Answer:

k² − 4k + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

recall the following property of perfect square quadratics

(a-b)² = a²- 2ab + b²  --------------( eq1)

We are given:

k² − 4k + ? --------------(eq 2)

and we are asked to determine ? for which the expression above is a perfect square.

Manipulating the given equation:

k² − 4k + ?  (factor out 2 from the 2nd term), we get:

k² −(2)(k)(2) + ?

now we compare this with the right side of  (eq1)

a²- 2 a b + b²

we can clearly see that a = k and b = 2,

substituting this back into eq 2,

k² − 4k + 2²

= k² − 4k + 4

HELPPPPPP how do you find the height of a right triangle
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The height of any right triangle is just simply the many units that are going up but it has to start from the right angle and upwards and that would be your height.

It may already give you a height so there is no need to worry if so.

Here, in this case the side on the very left is my height:

What are the lengths of sides KN and NM of the kite? KN = units NM = units
Rainbow [258]
The figure of the kite shown in the figure is a quadrilateral because it has four sides. The lengths of each side is expressed as a function of x and y. In order to determine the values of x and y, you make use of the short lines that mark the sides. These are symbols of congruency. If two sides are equal, you mark them both with the same symbol. So for the figure above, side NM = side LM and side KL = side KN. Therefore, we equate them as follows:

NM = LM
2x + 6 = 3x - 1
3x - 2x = 6 +1
x = 7

KL = KN
2y + 5 = y + 10
2y-y = 10 - 5
y = 5

So, we know that the values are x=7 and y=5. We use this to know the actual values of sides KN and NM.

KN = y + 10
KN = 5 + 10
KN = 15

NM = 2x + 6
NM = 2(7) + 6
NM = 20

Rickey has been commissioned to paint a mutual that is allowed to have an area 60 square meters to make the rectangulr shape of
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Length of the mural should be 20.78 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the mural be L and the width W

Area = L × W = 60 m²

Ticket wants the L = 15 + 2W

Substitute for L in the Area eqn

(15 + 2W) × W = 60

15W + 2W² = 60

2W² + 15W - 60 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

W = 2.89 m or - 10.39 m

Obviously, the width cannot be negative,

So, W = 2.89 m

L = 15 + 2W = 15 + 2(2.89) = 20.78 m

Check - L × W = 20.78 × 2.89 = 60 m²

Hope this Helps!!!
