Question

Given the area of a square, factor it to find the side length.
text  Area  end text equals 144 x squared minus 24 x plus 1

hintHint:

Using the formula area = side2. find the side of the square by factoring the area .

The correct answer is: 12x - 1 is the side length of the square.


    Ans:- 12x-1 is the side length of the square.
    Given , Area A = 144 x squared minus 24 x plus 1
    Write 144 x squared text  as  end text left parenthesis 12 x right parenthesis squared comma negative 24 x text  as  end text minus 2 left parenthesis 12 x right parenthesis left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis text  and  end text 1 text  as  end text 1 squared
    we get A = open square brackets left parenthesis 12 x right parenthesis squared minus 2 left parenthesis 12 x right parenthesis left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis plus 1 squared close square brackets
    Applying  a squared minus 2 a b plus b squared equals left parenthesis a minus b right parenthesis squared text  formula here  end text a equals 12 x subscript semicolon b equals 1
    We get A = left parenthesis 12 x minus 1 right parenthesis squared
    But, area of square  A =  left parenthesis text  side  end text right parenthesis squared

     left parenthesis 12 x minus 1 right parenthesis squared equals left parenthesis text  side  end text right parenthesis squared not stretchy rightwards double arrow text  side  end text equals 12 x minus 1
    ∴ length of side is 12x - 1 .
