Question

Alright this one got me, but I think its B ?

im cut out 4 small squares and 3 big squares from a piece of cardboard. The length of the sides of each small square was x inches and the length of the sides of each big square was y inches. The expression below shows the total number of square inches of cardboard that Jim used for cutting out the squares.

4x2 + 3y2

What does the term 4x2 in the expression represent?

The total area of the big squares

The total area of the small squares

The total perimeter of the big squares

The total perimeter of the small squares

Answer 1

im assuming those are meant to be exponents. to show that, use the ^ key. 4x^2 +3y^2

area of a square is the length of a side times itself. there are 4 small squares with side x and 3 big squares with side y. this yields 4x^2 and 3y^2. they're asking what 4x^2 is, so it's

B) the total area of the small squares

Answer 2

The total area of the small squares
