Can someone please help me on this? I've been trying to figure this out for about 20 minutes now but I don't know how to do it.

Part A: The area of a square is (16x2 + 24x + 9) square units. Determine the length of each side of the square by factoring the area expression completely. Show your work. (5 points)

Part B: The area of a rectangle is (4x2 − 49y2) square units. Determine the dimensions of the rectangle by factoring the area expression completely. Show your work. (5 points)

Hello,

A)[tex]16x^2+24x+9=(4x)^2+2*4x*3+3^2=(4x+3)^2\\ [/tex]

B)[tex]4x^2-49y^2=(2x)^2-(7y)^2=(2x-7y)(2x+7y)[/tex]
