Question 146319:
Can you please help me?
Shrinking garden. Rose’s garden is a square with sides of length x feet. Next spring she plans to make it rectangular by lengthening one side 5 feet and shortening the other side by 5 feet. What polynomial represents the new area? By how much will the area of the new garden differ from that of the old garden? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x*x=x^2 is the original area of the garden
(x+5)(x-5)=x^2-25 ix the area of the modified garden.
The new garden will be 25ft^2 less than the original garden.
