Given the numerical statement:

A square has a side of 3x - 4

Determine the area of the square in terms of x.

Solution:

In order to determine the area of square in terms of x, we must first familiarize ourselves with the formula for the area of the square.

A  = l^2

A = area

l = Lenght of side

Substitute the equation 3x - 4 to the length of side.

A = ( 3x - 4)^2

A = 3x^2 - 24x + 16

Final answer:

The area of the square is represented by the formula,

A = 3x^2 - 24x + 16
