One square grid has an area of 400.
Another square grid has an area of 256.
The area of the third grid can be:
(squares in third grid) + 256 = 400
OR
256 + 400 = (squares in third grid)
We get this by applying the Pythagorean theorem.
So, the squares in the third grid can either be 144 or 656. And we only have 144 as an option, so that is your answer.
Your final answer is D. 144.
The answer is B, g is the total number of games
Factor out the gcf first.
3(4y^2-9)
The binomial inside is a perfect square so keep factoring.
3(2y+3)(2y-3)
The pair of binomials cannot be further factored so stop there.
