Since 16 and 25 are perfect squares you can factor the first part.
4^2-5^2(b+3)^2
=(4-5(b+3))(4+5(b+3))
=(4-5b-15)(4+5b+15)
=(-11-5b)(19+5b)
Which can be expanded if necessary,
= -209+150b-25b^2
Answer: 66 sq ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Break up the shape into three separate shapes
8 * 3 = 24 for the rectangle
There are 2 triangles
The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2(b)(h)
1 of the triangles has a base of 4 and height of 12
1/2(4)(12) = 24
The other triangle has a base of 3 and height of 12
1/2(3)(12) = 18
24 + 24+ 18 = 66
I’m not 100% bc/ I learned this last semester, but I think it’s B. So sorry if I’m wrong. I think this bc/ 0.04 is the interest rate as a percent, 4 is the time, 200 is the amount of money, and the one shows that it is exponential growth.
The answer to your question is 74/99:D
