Answer:
14491.060542
Step-by-step explanation:
The area ratio is 1:16 meaning that the old area is 1 while the new area is 16. So this is another way of saying "the area is multiplied by 16"
Take the square root of each part of the ratio of 1:16 and we get 1:4
So this is the scale factor. It tells us how the linear components of the circles relate to one another. If the circumference of the smaller circle is 1,then the larger circle has a circumference of 4.
Therefore, the circumference has been multiplied by 4
a) ABD and CBD are Supplementary angles and need to equal 180 degrees
Subtract 117 from 180 for CBD:
CBD = 180 - 117 = 63 degrees
b) In triangles the the shortest side would be opposite the shortest angle.
Since angle D is 56 degrees ( the smallest inside angle) then side BC would be the shortest side.
c) The side opposite the largest angle would be the longest.
Angle B is 63 degrees ( the largest) so side CD is the longest.
Since we have two possible pieces of information and 2 items to solve for, we know this is a system of equations.
Our first piece of information is that our shorter leg (s) is 2 feet shorter than our longer leg (l). This can be written as s=l-2.
Our second piece of information is that using the Pythagorean theorem that our shorter leg squared plus our longer leg squared is equal to our hypotenuse squared. This can be represented by s^2+l^2=10^2. Now we can solve.
We have already isolated for s in our first equation, so we can substitute l-2 in.
(l-2)^2+l^2=10^2
l-2+l=10
2l-2=10
2l=12
l=6
Now we can substitute in for s in our simpler equation
s=6-2
s=4
We now know that using our knowledge of systems of equations, the side lengths of this right angle triangle are 6 and 4.
Multiply the equation:

The solution set is the same, because multiplying both sides of an equation by a non-zero number doesn't change the solution set. In fact, if you rewrite the equation as

Multiplying this by 3 (or whatever number, for all it matters) gives

Now, a product is zero if and only if at least one of the factor is zero. So, either
or 
Since the first is clearly impossible, the second one must be true, which is the original equation.
