- 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
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
