Patchwork. A quilt patch cut in the shape of a triangle has a base of 5x inches and a height of 1,732x inches. What polynomial represents its area?

Question

Answer:
Area of triangle is ½*b*h
B=5x
H=1732x
A=1/2*5x*1732x=4330x^2
A=L*W
L=2x-1
W=x+12
A=(2x-1)*(x+12)
A=2x^+24x-x-12=2x^2+23x-12
I need to know if this is done correctly.

Answer 1

Everything looked good up to and
including your calculation of the
area of the triangle. The other work dosen't seem to be related to the
problem. Take a close look at the
question. When you answer the question
the problem is solved.

YOUR cal: A = 4330X^2 sq. in.
General Eq: A = ax^2. a is a constant.
