You do the reverse and divide the 2 values to find out the last one

72/9 = 8

Do you get it?

To find the width, we have to find out what number multiplied by 9 gives us 72.
9*8=72
The width of the mural is 8 feet!

find the equation of the circle where (-9,4),(-2,5),(-8,-3),(-1,-2) are the vertices of an inscribed square.
solniwko [45]
Check the picture below, so, that'd be the square inscribed in the circle.

so... hmm the diagonals for the square are the diameter of the circle, and keep in mind that the radius of a circle is half the diameter, so let's find the diameter.

\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ -8}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})
\end{array}\qquad 
%  distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{diameter}{d}=\sqrt{[-8-(-2)]^2+[-3-5]^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{(-8+2)^2+(-3-5)^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(-8)^2}
\\\\\\
d=\sqrt{36+64}\implies d=\sqrt{100}\implies d=10

that means the radius r = 5.

now, what's the center?  well, the Midpoint of the diagonals, is really the center of the circle, let's check,

\bf \textit{middle point of 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
%  (a,b)
&({{ -2}}\quad ,&{{ 5}})\quad 
%  (c,d)
&({{ -8}}\quad ,&{{ -3}})
\end{array}\qquad 
\left(\cfrac{{{ x_2}} + {{ x_1}}}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{{{ y_2}} + {{ y_1}}}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-8-2}{2}~,~\cfrac{-3+5}{2} \right)\implies (-5~,~1)

so, now we know the center coordinates and the radius, let's plug them in,

\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ 
(x-{{ h}})^2+(y-{{ k}})^2={{ r}}^2
\qquad 
\begin{array}{lllll}
center\ (&{{ h}},&{{ k}})\qquad 
radius=&{{ r}}\\
&-5&1&5
\end{array}
\\\\\\\
[x-(-5)]^2-[y-1]^2=5^2\implies (x+5)^2-(y-1)^2=25

A total of 480 were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or students tickets. The number of student tickets
Talja [164]

Ok so basically, the number of student tickets is 3x, where x=the number of adult tickets sold. And we know that s(for student tickets)+x=480 total tickets sold. So if we replace s with 3x we have 3x+x=480, or 4x=480. We divide by 4 and get x=120, which is the amount of adult tickets sold.
