A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s²

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c² = a² + b²
c² = 8² + 8²
c² = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 7cm + 7cm = 22cm

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-7x - 9 < 4 - x
-7x < 4 - x + 9
-7x + x < 4 + 9
-6x < 13
x < \( \frac{13}{-6} \)
x < -2\(\frac{1}{6}\)
