Respuesta :

  • The area of the inner triangle is x² - 9
  • The area of the larger triangle is (9x² - 16) sq. units
  • The required polynomial in terms of x is 8x² - 7

The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is expressed as:

A = LW

  • L is the length
  • W is the width

A) For the inner triangle

Length = x - 3

Width = x + 3

Area of the inner triangle = (x-3)(x+3)

Area of the inner triangle = x²-3x+3x-9

Area of the inner triangle = x² - 9

B) For the larger triangle

Length = 3x-4

Width 3x + 4

A = (3x-4)(3x+4)

A = 9x²+12x-12x-16

A = (9x² - 16) sq. units

Hence the area of the larger triangle is (9x² - 16) sq. units

C) In order to express the area of the region inside the larger rectangle by outside the smaller rectangle as a polynomial in terms of x, we will make the difference in the areas:

P(x) = Area of the larger triangle - Area of the smaller triangle

P(x) = (9x² - 16) - (x² - 9)

P(x) = 9x² - 16 - x² + 9

P(x) = 9x² - x² - 16 + 9

P(x) = 8x² - 7

Hence the required polynomial in terms of x is 8x² - 7
