Two squares are congruent if they have the same side length.
C. 2x + 3
You have many ways to solve this!
You could...
A) multiply all the answer choices by 3x-2 and see what matches
B) Factor the trinomial
C) Divide the trinomial by the binomial using long division
<span>x^3 - 4x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0</span>
There will be two squares.
Think about it: The shorter side is 3.5 feet. The longer side is 7 feet. If he cuts it in half on the longer side, he's taking the length of that longer side, and dividing it by 2. 7/2=3.5.
So, you'd have two squares, both with a length and width of 3.5 feet.
