Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:See below.Step-by-step explanation:A. the area is the square of the length of a side.Area = (3x - 6)^2= 9x^2 - 18x - 18x + 36= 9x^2 - 36x + 36 (answer).B. The above answer is a polynomial (trinomial) , degree 2.C. It demonstrates that when we multiply 2 polynomials the answer is also a polynomial.
