The short sides of a rectangle are 2 inches. the long sides of the same rectangle are three less than a certain number of inches. sketch and label the sides of this rectangle. use an algebraic expression to represent the length of the long sides.

Let x be the certain number of inches mentioned in the problem. So, three less than this quantity is

This means that you have to sketch a rectangle labelling the short side with 2, and the long sides with

c.

step-by-step explanation:

she should of added 9^2 and 12^2. that is because it is a^2+b^2=c^2. c^2 is the hypotenuse and should always be bigger than the other two numbers. which is why she should of added 9 squared and 12 squared together instead of 15 squared.
