Tim installs 50 square feet of his floor in 45 minutes. At this rate, how long does it
take him to install 495 square feet?

445.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to apply a proportion:

Proportion: square feet / time (minutes)

Tim installs 50 square feet of his floor in 45 minutes: 50/45

For 495 square feet: 495/x

Where x is the time it takes Tim to install 495 square feet of his floor.

50ft/45min = 495ft/x min

Solving for x

x = 495 / (50/45)

x= 445.5 minutes  

answer is because 4×10=40

and 98×4= is 392

40,392

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
