When 21 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 4 times the number. Find the positive solution.

Let x = your number.

x^2 - 21 = 4x. Subtract 4x from both sides.

x^2 - 4x - 21 = 0. Factor.

(x - 7) (x + 3) = 0. Set each term to 0.

x + 3 = 0. Subtract 3 from both sides.

x = -3. This is the negative solution.

Set the other term equal to zero.

x - 7 = 0. Add 7 to each side.

x = 7. This is the positive solution.

The figure consists of a quarter circle and a parallelogram. What is the area of the composite figure? Use 3.14 for pi. Round to
Andru [333]
The area of a full circle is given by
  A = π*r^2
so the area of a 1/4 circle will be 1/4 of that:
  A = (π/4)*r^2

The area of a parallelogram is the product of base length and height:
  A = bh

Your composite figure will have an area that is the sum of the areas of the parts.
  A = (quarter circle area) + (parallelogram area)
  A ≈ (3.14/4)*(14 in)^2 +(14 in)*(5 in)
  A ≈ 223.86 in^2 ≈ 224 in^2

The most appropriate selection is the last one,
  224 in^2
