Ezra has a square brick patio. He wants to reduce the width by 6 feet and increase the length by 6 feet.

Let x represent the length of one side of the square patio. Write expressions
for the length and width of the new patio. Then find the area of the new patio
if the original patio measures 13 feet by 13 feet.

A)lw = (x+6)(x-6); 133 square feet

B)lw = x(x+-6); 91 square feet

C) lw = (x+6)(x+6); 361 Square feet

D) lw = (x-6)(x-6); 49 square feet

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.

i think it might be a but you might want a second opinion

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
