Area of a rectangle: 2(L+W)
length: 4+W
Area: 2(4+W) + 2W = 96
8+2W+2W = 96
8+4W = 96
4W = 88
W= 22cm
Calculate for length: 2L + 2(22) = 96
2L + 44 = 96
2L = 52
L = 26cm
• The length is 26cm and width is 22 cm.
Answer: 130
In order to solve for <4, you need to know that supplementary angles add up to 180°.
<3 = 50
180 - 50
130
**For future questions**
1. The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°
2. Alternate interior angles are congruent
3. The exterior angle of a triangle is the sum of the nonadjacent interior angles

Part A) " (3x + 4) " units .

Part B) "The dimensions of the rectangle are:
" (4x + 5y) " units ; <u>AND</u>: " (4x − 5y)" units."
_____________________________________________________
Explanation for Part A):
_____________________________________________________
Since each side length of a square is the same;
Area = Length * width = L * w ; L = w = s = s ;
in which: " s = side length" ;
So, the Area of a square, "A" = L * w = s * s = s² ;
{<u>Note</u>: A "square" is a rectangle with 4 (four) equal sides.}.
→ Each side length, "s", of a square is equal.
Given: s² = "(9x² + 24x + 16)" square units ;
Find "s" by factoring: "(9x² + 24x + 16)" completely:
→ " 9x² + 24x + 16 ";
Factor by "breaking into groups" :
"(9x² + 24x + 16)" =
→ "(9x² + 12x) (12x + 16)" ;
_______________________________________________________
Given: " (9x² + 24x + 16) " ;
_______________________________________________________
Let us start with the term:
_______________________________________________________
" (9x² + 12x) " ;
→ Factor out a "3x" ; → as follows:
_______________________________________
→ " 3x (3x + 4) " ;
Then, take the term:
_______________________________________
→ " (12x + 16) " ;
And factor out a "4" ; → as follows:
_______________________________________
→ " 4 (3x + 4) "
_______________________________________
We have:
" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
= " 3x (3x + 4) + 4(3x + 4) " ;
_______________________________________
Now, notice the term: "(3x + 4)" ;
We can "factor out" this term:
3x (3x + 4) + 4(3x + 4) =
→ " (3x + 4) (3x + 4) " . → which is the fully factored form of:
" 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
____________________________________________________
→ Or; write: " (3x + 4) (3x + 4)" ; as: " (3x + 4)² " .
____________________________________________________
→ So, "s² = 9x² + 24x + 16 " ;
Rewrite as: " s² = (3x + 4)² " .
→ Solve for the "positive value of "s" ;
→ {since the "side length of a square" cannot be a "negative" value.}.
____________________________________________________
→ Take the "positive square root of EACH SIDE of the equation;
to isolate "s" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "s" ;
→ ⁺√(s²) = ⁺√[(3x + 4)²] '
To get:
→ s = " (3x + 4)" units .

Part A): The answer is: "(3x + 4)" units.

Explanation for Part B):
_________________________________________________________<span>
The area, "A" of a rectangle is:
A = L * w ;
in which "A" is the "area" of the rectangle;
"L" is the "length" of the rectangle;
"w" is the "width" of the rectangle;
_______________________________________________________
Given: " A = </span>(16x² − 25y²) square units" ;
→ We are asked to find the dimensions, "L" & "w" ;
→ by factoring the given "area" expression completely:
____________________________________________________
→ Factor: " (16x² − 25y²) square units " completely '
Note that: "16" and: "25" are both "perfect squares" ;
We can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) " ; as:
= " (4²x²) − (5²y²) " ; and further rewrite the expression:
________________________________________________________
Note:
________________________________________________________
" (16x²) " ; can be written as: "(4x)² " ;
↔ " (4x)² = "(4²)(x²)" = 16x² "
Note: The following property of exponents:
→ (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ; → As such: " 16x² = (4²x²) = (4x)² " .
_______________________________________________________
Note:
_______________________________________________________
→ " (25x²) " ; can be written as: " (5x)² " ;
↔ "( 5x)² = "(5²)(x²)" = 25x² " ;
Note: The following property of exponents:
→ (xy)ⁿ = xⁿ yⁿ ; → As such: " 25x² = (5²x²) = (5x)² " .
______________________________________________________
→ So, we can rewrite: " (16x² − 25y²) " ;
as: " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;
→ {Note: We substitute: "(4x)² " for "(16x²)" ; & "(5y)² " for "(25y²)" .} . ;
_______________________________________________________
→ We have: " (4x)² − (5y)² " ;
→ Note that we are asked to "factor completely" ;
→ Note that: " x² − y² = (x + y) (x − y) " ;
→ {This property is known as the "<u>difference of squares</u>".}.
→ As such: " (4x)² − (5y)² " = " (4x + 5y) (4x − 5y) " .
_______________________________________________________
Part B): The answer is: "The dimensions of the rectangle are:
" (4x + 5y) " units ; AND: " (4x − 5y)" units."
