157.86/15=10.52
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = 36 , b = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
expand the right side using FOIL and compare coefficients with like terms on left side.
(x - b)²
= x² - 2bx + b² , compare to x² - 12x + a , then
- 2b = - 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
b = 6
and a = b² = 6² = 36
Given:
The scale factor between two circles is
.
To find:
The ratio of their areas.
Solution:
We know that, all circles are similar.
The ratio of the areas of similar figures is equal to the ratio of squares of their corresponding sides or equal to the square of ratio of their corresponding sides.
The scale factor is the ratio of the corresponding sides.
Ratio of areas of circles = Square of scale factor between two circles



Therefore, the correct option is D.
Hey there! :)
6 = 1 - b
Like I mentioned in my previous answer, we must isolate our variable. In this case, our variable is b.
So, our first step is to subtract 1 from both sides.
6 - 1 = 1 - b - 1
Simplify.
5 = b
Therefore, b = 5
