Answer:
Take the square root of the constant (number w/o the variable) and then multiply that by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
A perfect square trinomial is something like this: 
If I have 6x, and I want to find the last term I would take half a six and then square it to get 9.
SO.... To get the middle term of a perfect square trinomial, you would need to do the reverse.. So...
1) Take the square root of the constant...
2) Multiply that by 2
Answer:
56.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You want to find the perimeter (or the length around the rectangle) to find much lace he needs. the formula for perimeter is 2L+2W=P. L being length, w being width and p being perimeter. Plug in the values for the equation and get 2(12.75)+2(15.5)=P. Multiply and get 25.5+31=56.5.
So you can you the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem.
if each side of the square is a certain length x, then the square is made up of two right triangles.
the sides adjacent to the right angle are length x while the hypoteneus is the diagonal whcih measures 36 feet.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + x^2 = 36^2
2x^2 = 1296
x^2 = 648
x = 25.456
area of a square = x^2 = 648 ft^2
