If one side of a square measures (3x − 8) ft. , find the area of the square. Show work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a square:

- side of a square

We have

Substitute:

METHOD 1:

Use  

METHOD 2:

Use FOIL:

9x^2-48x+64 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

(3x − 8) (3x − 8)

Multiply 3x by (3x − 8)

3x(3x − 8)

9x^2-24x

Multiply - 8 by (3x − 8)

- 8(3x − 8)=-24x+64

Combine 9x^2-24x and -24x+64

9x^2-48x+64 ft^2

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
