Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

In terms of pi: 164.5pi cm squared

Substituting pi for 3.14: 516.53 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5^2 = 12.25pi

12.25*2 = 24.5pi

7pi*20 = 140pi

140 + 24.5 = 164.5pi

164.5*3.14 = 516.53

How many solutions doe
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Given equation have two solutions.

x = -\frac{5}{2} and -\frac{8}{3}

Right option is (D)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given,

6x^{2} +40=-31x

we can rewrite this equation in the form given as:

6x² + 40 + 31x = 0

or 6x² + 31x + 40 = 0

On solving this quadratic equation, we get :

x = -\frac{5}{2} and -\frac{8}{3}

That means, given equation have two solutions.

Right option is (D)
