The area of the circle, to two decimal places, is A = 3.14(1.8 m)^2
Then A = 10.17 m^2.
Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
You would simply do -102-125 to give -227 feet below the surface
You have to put the numbers in order and find the middle value so in this case it's-
2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8
The answer is $6
