Multiple Choice

Solve
-A rope 24 feet long is cut into two unequal pieces. Each piece is used to form a square. Let x represent the length of the shorter piece of rope. Write a function $\mathrm { A } ( \mathrm { x } )$ that expresses the total area enclosed by the two squares.

A) $A ( x ) = 2 x ^ { 2 } - 48 x + 576$
B) $A ( x ) = \frac { 2 x ^ { 2 } - 48 x + 576 } { 16 }$
C) $A ( x ) = 576 - 48 x$
D) $A ( x ) = \frac { 576 - x ^ { 2 } } { 16 }$
