Verifying Layout Dimensions of a Fabricated Steel Plate
A junior estimating assistant at a metal fabrication firm is verifying the layout dimensions for a custom rectangular structural plate. The design blueprint specifies that the surface area of the plate is represented by the algebraic trinomial square inches. To find the plate's dimensions, the assistant must factor this trinomial using the systematic trial-and-error method.
Recall the standard algebraic breakdown of this specific trinomial and answer the following:
- What is the completely factored form of the surface area trinomial ?
- What are the specific outer and inner products of these binomial factors, and what is their sum?
