We can solve this by using the  P<span>ythagorean theorem which is below:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Or we can say
</span>w^2 + h^2 = d^2
<span>w = widht
h = height
d = diagonal measure


With that said, we know the height is .75 times the width so .75w. We also know d = 34, which is our diagonal measure.
w = don't know yet but need to find
h = .75w
d = 34
Now lets plugin the information we know into our equation

</span>w^2 + h^2 = d^2
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
Now lets to the math
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 1156
w^2 + .5625w^2 = 1156
Combine like terms
w^2 + .5625w^2 = 1156
1.5625w^2 = 1156
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 1.5625
\frac{1.5625w^2}{1.5625} = \frac{1156}{1.5625}
w^2 = 739.84
Now take the square root on both sides of the equal sign
\sqrt{w^2} = \sqrt{739.84}
w = 27.2

So the width is 27.2
We can check this by putting 27.2 back into our original equation
w^2 + (.75w)^2 = 34^2
27.2^2 + (.75\times 27.2)^2 = 34^2

Answer with explanation plz
Nostrana [21]
The answer is 78.5 because the formula to find area is πr2 so the radius is 5ft π is 3.14 so 3.14 times 5 and the 2 on top of r means the u have to do 5 times 5 which is 25 now it's real simple do 3.14 times 25 which is 78.5 I HOPE THIS HELPS=)

For the straight line defined by the points (2,55) and (4, 87), determine the slope (m) and y-intercept?
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Slope(m) = 16

Y intercept (c) = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Points : (x1, y1) = (2, 55)

           (x2, y2) = (4, 87)

Using two point form to calculate slope:

m = \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

m = \frac{87-55}{4-2}

      m = 16

To find y intercept:

Take any one point ans slope :

Using slope point formula:

y = mx + c

87 = 16(4) + c

Solving for c:

c = 23

Let's solve for "r" by bringing them all to one side.
-3r=6-4r
+4r    +4r
r=6
So, r is equal to 6.
