a vegetable garden surrounding path are shaped like a square that together are 10 ft wide. The path is 3 ft wide. Find the total area of the vegetable garden and path.

Garden = 36 ft², Path = 64 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Path is 3 ft wide ON EACH SIDE of the garden

Garden + 2(Path) = 10 ft   --> Garden = 6 ft wide.

Since the garden is a square, Area = 6² = 36

Garden + 2(Path) = 10 ft

Since the Garden + Path form a square, Area = 10² = 100

Area of Garden + Area of Path = Total Area

         36             + Area of Path =      100

                              Area of Path =      64

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1  

step-by-step explanation :

we know that

the measurement of the outer angle is the semi-difference of the arcs which comprises

in this problem

m< xzy is the outer angle

substitute the values

the measure of angle xoy is equal to

> by central angle

substitute the value
