X^2 - 8x + 13 = 0
subtract 13 from both sides
x^2 - 8x = -13
-8/2 = -4, (-4)^2 = 16, add 16 to both sides
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -13 + 16
factor the left side
(x - 4)^2 = 3
Answer:
144 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the area of the larger square, then subtract the area of the square we cut out.
The larger square has side length of 15, so it has an area of 15² = 225 in²
The smaller square has side length of 9, so it has an area of 9² = 81 in²
The area left over is
225 - 81 = 144 in²
Answer:
The metric system is an alternative system of measurement used in most countries, as well as in the United States. The metric system is based on joining one of a series of prefixes, including kilo-, hecto-, deka-, deci-, centi-, and milli-, with a base unit of measurement, such as meter, liter, or gram.
