Answer: 11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
area of rect. = 24
area of circle (half circle+half circle = full circle) = pi*r^2 = pi*(2*2) = pi*4 = about 12.57
2 = radius since 4 = diameter
24-12.57 = 11.43
round = 11.4
This is how I would solve it:
1st # = x 4(x+1)=3x+18
2nd # = x+1 4x+4=3x+18
4x=3x+14
x=14
To check: 15x4=60; 60-42=18. <u>1st # = 14; 2nd # = 15.</u>
