A rectangle photograph is mounted on a square piece of cardboard whose sides have length x. the border that surrounds the photo is 3 inches on each side and 4 inches on both top and bottom.
the following expressions represent the area of the photograph? check all that apply
top and bottom 4in
both sides 3in
the shpae is a squar
x^2
(x+8)(x+6)
(x-8)(x-6)
x^2+48
x^2-48
x^2+14x+48
x^2-14x+48
The expressions that represent the area of the photograph are:
- x^2 (since it represents the area of a square photograph with sides of length x)
- (x+8)(x+6) (since it represents the area of the rectangular photograph plus the border on all sides)
So the correct answer is x^2 and (x+8)(x+6)
