Answer:
I can't solve and show it but only tell a method to do it!
So find the zero of the given factor:
i.e.

Now put its value (-1) in the polynomial

Now if the answer comes zero it is a factor.
You'll get your answer!
Answer: 12.20 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe in the figure attached that a right triangle is formed.
Then, you need to remember the identity:

In this case you can identify that:


Then, to find the length of the wooden board (x), you need to substitute values and solve for x.
Therefore, you get:

The length of the wooden board is: 12.20 feet.
Because the coefficient of x^2 is -1, we know that a will be -1. Knowing that the coefficient of x is -4, we can calculate that p=2. Thus, we have -1(x+2)^2+q is our equation. This is equal to -x^2-4x-4+q. As the constant term must be 2, we can then see that q is 6.
As such, we have -1(x+2)^2+6=0 as our factorization.
To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. Plugging in values, we have:

which is equal to: (when the fraction is simplified)
