The area of a circle is area = pi x r^2
The full area = 3.14 x 20^2 = 1256 square feet.
The corner forms a 90 degree angle so the dirt area is 3/4 of a full circle.
Answer = 1256 x 3/4 = 942 square feet
-x + 5y = 8
multiply this equation by 3
-3x + 15y = 24
now add it to the other equation ( elimination)
-3x + 15y = 24
3x + 7y = -2
-----------------------
0x + 22 y = 22
divide each side by 22
y =1
substitute into -x + 5y =8 to find x
-x + 5(1) = 8
-x + 5 = 8
-x =3
divide by -1
x =-3
Answer (-3,1)
Choice A
Yy=5(xx)
works because lets say you need 3 cups of sugar. 3x5 is 15 which is exactly the number of cups of flour you would need
