A. 24 miles
Explanation:
the area inside a circle is given by:

where r is the radius of the circle.
In this problem, we know the circular area:

So we can re-arrange the equation above to find r, the radius:

so, the radius of the circular area is 24 miles.
A cut that is parallel to the base of the square based pyramid
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
So we have the trinomial:

First, factor out a 2:

Now, factor within the parentheses.
To do so, we want to find two numbers. When multiplied, these two numbers must equal (a)(c) and when added, they must equal b
(a)(c) is 2(-5) or -10 and b is -3. So, we want two numbers that when multiplied together gives -10 and when added gives -3.
-5 and 2 works. Therefore:

Replace -3x with 2x and -5x:

Factor out a 2x for the first two terms. And factor out a negative 5 for the remaining two:

Grouping:

And we're done!
Answer: -8(5x^4-2)
