It’s b
That’s what I got so it should be right
Answer: a = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The area is 452cm
Step-by-step explanation:
For the big square we have to multiply 15*18 and that is the area so-
15*18=270
Next we multiply 13 and 14
13*14=182
And now we add 270 and 182 to get the total area
270+182=452
<h3>Answer: </h3>
The GCF is 4
The polynomial factors to 
==========================================================
Further explanation:
Ignore the x terms
We're looking for the GCF of 12, 4 and 20
Factor each to their prime factorization. It might help to do a factor tree, but this is optional.
- 12 = 2*2*3
- 4 = 2*2
- 20 = 2*2*5
Each factorization involves "2*2", which means 2*2 = 4 is the GCF here.
We can then factor like so

The distributive property pulls out that common 4. We can verify this by distributing the 4 back in, so we get the original expression back again.
The polynomial inside the parenthesis cannot be factored further. Proof of this can be found by looking at the roots and noticing that they aren't rational numbers (use the quadratic formula).
