side=Perimeter/4

side:-


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (4(x^2+1))/(4(x^2-2x+19)


\\ \rm\Rrightarrow (x^2+1)/(x^2-2x+19))✓/tex]</p><p></p><p>Area=side ²</p><p></p><p>[tex]\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \left((x^2+1)/(x^2-2x+19)\right)^2

Answer:

Explanation:

Because a square has 4 equal sides:

P = 4x

A =
x^(2)

Step 1. Substitute 4x into perimeter equation


P=(4x^2+4)/(x^2-2x+1) (original P equation)


4x=(4x^2+4)/(x^2-2x+1) (substitute P = 4x)

Step 2. Solve for x


4x(x^2-2x+1)={4x^2+4} (multiply denominator on both sides)


4x^3-8x^2+4x={4x^2+4} (distribute 4x)


4x^3-12x^2+4x-4=0 (combine like terms, set = to 0)


4(x^3-3x^2+x-1)=0 (factor)

Continue using quadratic formula to find x

Step 3. Plug x into area equation,
x^(2)

Hope this helps! Cannot finish answer right now, so sorry
