You set the corresponding sides equal to each other and solve for x as you would in a normal equation
Answer:
I believe that the area of the green square is 9ft²
Answer:
The perimeter is 30 units
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of SOW, what we need to do is to add all the lengths around the triangle together.
But we only have OS, we do not have OW and WS. Thus , we need to get what the values of these lengths are before we can calculate the perimeter.
Please check the attachment for complete solution.
Ok, first group x terms
f(x)=(x²+4x)-8
factor out quadratic coefient (no need but that's the step)
f(x)=1(x²+4x)-8
take 1/2 of the linear coefient and square it
4/2=2, (2)²=4
add positive and negative of it insides the parenthasees
f(x)=1(x²+4x+4-4)-8
factor perfect square
f(x)=1((x+2)²-4)-8
distribute
f(x)=1(x+2)²-4-8
f(x)=1(x+2)²-12
and, now if we wanted to find the x intercepts where f(x)=0 then
0=1(x+2)²-12
12=(x+2)²
+/-2√3=x+2
-2+/-2√3=x
x=-2+2√3 or -2-2√3
that is where the x intercept are
and completed square form is
f(x)=(x+2)²-12
