It can't be for sure a perpendicular bisector cuz you don't know what kind of triangle you are dealing with so that one's out. It's not necessarily an angle bisector either for the same reason. A median means that PS will go through the opposite side right in the center, and again, depending upon what type of triangle you have, this could be true...So it is an altitude, which is like a height of a triangle. It drops down from a vertex and forms a right angle with wherever it goes through. So D.
The are of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and the width of the shape. First, we determine the dimensions of this figure. We do as follows:
Width = 12 - 2x - 2x = 12 - 4x
Length = 12 - x - x = 12 - 2x
Area = (Length)(Width)
Area = (12 - 2x )(12-2x)
The given expression can be simplified in many ways by grouping like terms. The simplest form is obtained by factoring out a²b which gives us the following expression.
a²b(7 + 10b +14b²)
