find the area of a square one side measures (x-2)
Area of a square:
(x-2)(x-2)
=(x-2)^2
=x^2-2x-2x+4
=x^2-4x+4 unit sq
Area of a square is sideside.
side = (x - 2)
Area = sideside = (x - 2)(x - 2)
x(x - 2) -2(x - 2)
xx - 2x - 2x -2*(-2)
x² - 2x - 2x + 4
x² - 4x + 4
Therefore area = x² - 4x + 4 square units.
Hope this helped.
