Question: What value of c will complete the square below () and make the expression a perfect square trinomial?
Answer: c = 225
Step-by-step explanation:
Perfect square trinomials come in the form a² + 2ab + b², which is equal to (a + b)². In the presented trinomial, we can immediately identify that <u>a = x, and b² = c</u>, but we need to find the numerical value of .
To do this, note that the middle term, or <u>2ab, corresponds with (is equal to) 30x</u>. We know that a = x, and thus, <u>2ab = 2bx</u>. Now, 2bx and 30x are corresponding terms; thus, <u>2bx = 30x</u>.
Dividing by on both sides gives us <u>b = 15</u>. Therefore, c = b² = 15² = 225. (As a squared binomial, this would be (x + 15)² as a = x and b = 15.)
Answer: 2 meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w = width of the cement path.
Dimensions of pool : Length = 15 meters , width = 9 meters
Area of pool = length x width = 15 x 9 = 135 square meters
Along width cement path, the length of region =
width =
Area of road with pool =
Area of road = (Area of road with pool ) -(area of pool)
width cannot be negative, so w=2 meters
Hence, the width of the road = 2 meters.
