Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? x2 + 6x + 8

(x+4)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property of 2 binomials:

First, outer, inner, last

(a+b)(c+d) = ac+ad+bc +bd

Factor x^2 into x*x

Factor 8 into 2*2*2

Find what two numbers add up to 6 and multiply to get 8

1 and 8 do not work because they add up to 9.  2 and 4 work because they add up to 6.  

Check: (x+4)(x+2)

First:  x*x = x^2

Outer: 2*x

Inner: 4*x

Last: 2*4 = 8

Add together: x^2+2x+4x+8 = x^2+6x+8

could you reply to this with the question so i can ?

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
