If 1 inch on paper is equal to 1.5 feet on paper, then you need to multiply all dimensions by 18 because 1.5 feet is equal to 18 inches and you are getting 18 inches on the real banner for every inch on the paper banner. </span><span>

Sam decides to build a square garden. If the area of the garden is 25x2 + 30x + 9 square feet, what is the length of one side of
seropon [69]
The correct answer is C. (5x+3) feet, and here is how I got it.
This is the equation you need to use:
(a+b)^2 = (a+b) (a+b)
So, let us plug in 5x and 3 here:
(5x+3)^2 = (5x+3)(5x+3) = 25x^2 + 15x + 15x + 9 = 25x^2 + 30x + 9 which is the area of the garden.
