The length of a side of a square is 3x+2 . What is the area of this square in terms of x ?
Well you use the area of a square formula.
Do. You do (3x+2)^2=Area
Get it?
Thankyou
3x+2
To find the area of a square, we need to square the length of one of its sides.
In this case, the length of one side is given as 3x+2.
To find the area, we square this expression, so we have:
(3x+2)^2.
To simplify this expression, we can use the formula for squaring a binomial:
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2.
Applying this formula, we get:
(3x+2)^2 = (3x)^2 + 2(3x)(2) + (2)^2
= 9x^2 + 12x + 4.
Thus, the area of the square in terms of x is "9x^2 + 12x + 4".
