3x^2- 27 … you divide the whole thing by 3 to get x^2- 9 and that’s the furthest you can simplify
First symmetrically cut the octagon to get 8 pieces. (So that you will get the idea that this polygon is divided into 8 triangles)
Then find the area of one of the triangles:
Area of Triangle = 
A =
× 12 × 19
A = 114 cm²
To find the area of the whole octagon shape:
A = 114 × 8 = 912 cm²

Given that 4000 items are checked in one month, let the number of detective items be represented as y.
Quality control finds on average that 0.026% of the items in the factory are detective. This implies that

When 4000 items are checked, we have the number of detective items to be evaluated as

Hence, the number of detective items is 1.04.
The pattern is multiplying by 3. So it will be: 243, 729
