Area of a square. Find a polynomial A(x) that represents

the area of the shaded region in the accompanying figure.

Without the figure this is difficult.

To find a polynomial that represents the area of the shaded region in a square, let's start by understanding a few things.

1. The area of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself.
- In other words, if we have a square with side length 'x', the area is given by A = x * x = x^2.

Now, let's go through the steps to find the polynomial A(x):

1. Identify the given information from the figure.
- Look for any labeled or known values that might help in determining the area.

2. Determine the dimensions of the shaded region.
- The shaded region is a square, so all sides are equal in length.

3. Express the dimensions in terms of 'x'.
- Let's assume that the side length of the shaded region is 'x'.

4. Calculate the area of the shaded region using A = x^2.
- Since the shaded region is a square, the area is given by A(x) = (side length)^2 = x^2.

Therefore, the polynomial A(x) that represents the area of the shaded region in the accompanying figure is A(x) = x^2.
