Check the picture below.

is not very specific above, but sounds like it's asking for an equation for the trapezoid only, mind you, there are square tiles too.

but let's do the trapezoid area then, 

\bf a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}} \implies  \sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}} \qquad \qquad
\sqrt[{ m}]{a^{ n}}\implies a^{\frac{{ n}}{{ m}}}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\

\bf A=\cfrac{h(a+b)}{2}\quad 
\begin{cases}
A=At\\
a=x\\
h=x\\
b=2x
\end{cases}\implies At=\cfrac{x(x+2x)}{2}
\\\\\\
At=\cfrac{x(3x)}{2}\implies At=\cfrac{3x^2}{2}\impliedby \textit{now, solving for \underline{x}}
\\\\\\
2At=3x^2\implies \cfrac{2At}{3}=x^2\implies \sqrt{\cfrac{2At}{3}}=x\implies \left( \frac{2At}{3} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}=x

A positive real number is 2 less than another. When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49.
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The numbers are

-2+3\sqrt{5}   and 3\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the smaller positive real number

y -----> the larger positive real number

we know that

A positive real number is 2 less than another

so

x=y-2

y=x+2 ----> equation A

When 4 times the larger is added to the square of the smaller, the result is 49

so

4y+x^2=49 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B

4(x+2)+x^2=49

solve for x

x^2+4x-41=0

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}

in this problem we have

x^2+4x-41=0

so

a=1\\b=4\\c=-41

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^{2}-4(1)(-41)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{180}} {2}

x=\frac{-4\pm6\sqrt{5}} {2}

x=-2\pm3\sqrt{5}

so

The positive real number is

x=-2+3\sqrt{5}

Find the value of y

y=x+2

y=-2+3\sqrt{5}+2

y=3\sqrt{5}

A circle is defined by the equation x2 + y2 + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0. What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the l
inn [45]
We can say that:
8x = -2ax
8 = -2a
a = -4

22y = - 2by
22 = -2b
b = -11

37 = a² + b² - r²
37 = (-4)² + (-11)² - r²
r² = 16 + 121 - 37
r² = 100
r = 10

With all this information, we can say that:
The center of the circle is: (-4 ; -11)
and the radius of the circle is r = 10

P.S:
(a - x)² + (b-y)² = r²
a² - 2ax + x² + b² -2by + y² - r² = 0
x² + y² -2ax - 2by + a² + b² - r² = 0
