Step-by-step explanation:
the equation of a circle in standard form is
(x - h)² + (y - k )² = r²
where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius
given
x² + y² - 8x + 8y + 23 = 0
collect the x and y terms together and subtract 23 from both sides
x² - 8x + y² + 8y = - 23
using the method of completing the square
add ( half the coefficient of the x / y terms )² to both sides
x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 + y² + 2(4)y + 16 = - 23 + 16 + 16
(x - 4)² + (y + 4)² = 9 ← in standard form
with centre = (4, - 4 ) and r =
= 3
this is shown in graph b
7,500 plus the commision is 525 now you add it to the 7,500 that will leave you with 8,025 now you subtract it from 185,000 so the answer will be 176,975
I'm glad if it helps :)
Since it is a square, it will be 18 stones wide and 18 stones long, to get you an area of 324.
