9x2+24x+16= ( answer here ​)2​

(3x + 4)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

9x^2 + 24x + 16

Let's use middle term break method to factor this polynomial.

In Quadratic Factorization using Splitting of Middle Term which is x term is the sum of two factors and product equal to last term. Factor each pair by finding common factors.

we nee two number which give 144 wh3n multiplied and 24 when added.So, 12 and 12 is the number because 12*12=144 and 12+12=24.

9x^2 + (12+12)x +16

9x^2 +12x +12x +16

take common

3x(3x + 4) +4(3x +4)

take (3x + 4) as common

(3x +4)(3x*1 +4*1)

(3x +4)(3x +4)

(3x +4)^2

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240

127

whether it's diameter, or radius, i believe if i remember correctly from school, every amount has to always add up to 180. so if you take 53, and starting adding, long story short, taking 127 and adding it to 53, gives you 180.
