Step-by-step explanation:
Divide through by 2
2a² - 5a + 3 = 0
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the a² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 2 × 3 = 6 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 2 and - 3
Use the factors to split the a- term
2a² - 2a - 3a + 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
2a(a - 1) - 3(a - 1) = 0 ← factor out (a - 1)
(a - 1)(2a - 3) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for a
a - 1 = 0 ⇒ a = 1
2a - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2a = 3 ⇒ a =

The radius is 25 inches
EXPLANATION
From the diagram, the radius of the circle is AC.
From the Pythagoras Theorem,
Simplify
Take positive square root,
Hence the radius is 25 inches
