Answer:
8 sq inches
Step-by-step explanation:
the label covers only one part of the juice box.
Area of juice label=area of rectangle
2 in*4 in=8 square inches.
The only thing you can do here is to try to simplify, so I'll assume that's what you want to do.
The numerator is a difference of squares, so it's easy to factorize:
In the denominator, we factorize by grouping:
So we have
Okay, so the angle of K is 45° (180 - 135).
Draw a line that goes straight down from angle L and let's say that point is point Z. You can see that this triangle can be separated into two special triangles: the 45 45 90 triangle on the left (ΔLKZ) and the 30 60 90 triangle (ΔLMZ) on the right.
I don't know if you've learned this yet (just google them if you're confused): - for a 45 45 90 triangle the sides are x, x, and x√2. - for a 30 60 90 triangle the sides are x, 2x, and x√3.
Since we know that LM is 20√3, using the 30 60 90 trick, you can see that LZ is 10√3 and MZ is 30.
Next, since LZ is 10 sqrt(3), using the 45 45 90 trick, <em>KL is 10√6</em> and KZ is 10 sqrt(3). Therefore, KM = KZ + MZ = <em>10√3 + 30</em>
<u>The answer: KL is 10√6, KM is 10√3 + 30</u>
(I'm sorry it's such a long explanation, pictures would have been better)
