5x^2 - (2x - 3)^2 =
5x^2 - ((2x - 3)(2x - 3)) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 6x - 6x + 9) =
5x^2 - (4x^2 - 12x + 9) =
5x^2 - 4x^2 + 12x - 9 =
x^2 + 12x - 9 <===
Area of aqua: A = bh/2 = (13.4cm) (4cm)/2 = 26.8cm2
Total area trapezoid: A = (a+b/2)h = ((13.4cm + 18cm)/2) 4cm = 62.8cm2
Area of purple = Total area - area of
aqua = (62.8cm2) - (26.8cm2) = 36cm2
You are going to write 7% as a fraction thusly 7/100
Then you are going to multiply it with the cost price
Therefore it will be 7/100x150
