Mixed Practice
In the following exercises, simplify.
A landscaper wants to put a square reflecting pool next to a triangular deck, as shown below. The triangular deck is a right triangle, with legs of length 9 feet and 11 feet, and the pool will be adjacent to the hypotenuse.
An artist wants to make a small monument in the shape of a square base topped by a right triangle, as shown below. The square base will be adjacent to one leg of the triangle. The other leg of the triangle will measure 2 feet and the hypotenuse will be 5 feet.

A square garden will be made with a stone border on one edge. If only feet of stone are available, simplify to determine the area of the largest such garden.
A garden will be made so as to contain two square sections, one section with side length yards and one section with side length yards. Simplify to determine the total area of the garden.
Suppose a third section will be added to the garden in the previous exercise. The third section is to have a width of feet. Write an expression that gives the total area of the garden.
ⓐ when squaring a negative, it becomes a positive ⓑ since the negative is not included in the parenthesis, it is not squared, and remains negative
Use the binomial square pattern to simplify . Explain all your steps.
