The formula for calculating the area of a circle is expressed as;
A = πr²
- Area of the pond = πr²
- Area of the path = Area of the path + pond - area of pond
- Area of path = π(r+1.5)² - πr²
Since the area of the path is equal to the area of the pond, hence;
π(r+1.5)² - πr² = πr²
Add πr² to both sides
π(r+1.5)² - πr² + πr² = πr² + πr²
π(r+1.5)² = 2πr²
(r+1.5)² = 2r²
Expand the parenthesis
r²+3r + 2.25 = 2r²
r²+3r + 2.25 - 2r² = 0
-r² + 3r + 2.25 = 0
r² - 3r - 2.25 = 0
Multiply through by 2
2r² - 6.0r - 4.5 = 0
<em>This proves the required equation</em>

Answer:
a = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for a straight line is y = mx+c, where m is the gradient/ slope, so m = -5. The first thing we need to do is find c, which we do by plugging in the x and y values that we already know: y = 7 and x = -2
7 = -5*(-2) + c
7 = 10 + c
c = 7-10 = -3
Now, we have the general equation of y = -5x -3 and we can use this to find a.
We'll treat a as x and y will be equal to 2:
2 = -5a -3
5 = -5a (Divide both sides by 5)
-a = 1 (now by -1)
a = -1
