<h3>Answer:</h3>
3a² - 24ab + 48b² = 3 ( a - 4b )²
<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<u>We will start by rewriting the given quadratic polynomial,</u>
3a² - 24ab + 48b²
<u>Taking out the common "3",</u>
=> 3 ( a² - 8ab + 16b² )
<u>Splitting the middle term i.e. " - 8ab " appropriately,</u>
=> 3 ( a² - 4ab - 4ab + 16b² )
=> 3 [ a ( a - 4b ) - 4b ( a + 4b ) ]
=> <u>3 ( a - 4b ) ( a - 4b )</u>
<u>Hence, option C is correct.</u>
Denote by m for marinara and by a for alfredo and recall the following law:

Therefore

The correct answer is the last one.
EXPLANATION
Let's see the facts:
------------------------First triangle ----------------------------
First side measure =3
Second side measure = 4
Included angle measure = 62
----------------------Second triangle ------------------------
First side measure = 27
Second side measure= 36
Included angle measure = 62
We have two included and congruent angles because 62=62.
Let's make a representation:
Now, in order to conclude if both triangles are similar we need to prove that the relationship or ratios between the sides is the same, and then, by the S-A-S Postulates, we could infer that both triangles are similar.
First side relationship: 3/27 = 1/9
Second side relationship: 4/36 = 1/9
1/9 = 1/9
As First side relationship = Second side relationship, then the relationship is the same and by SAS Postulate, the triangles are similar.
Are the triangles similar? Yes, by SAS postulate.
Answer: -5/2
