ΔBED and Δ DEC are similar (AAA). Therefore we have the proportion:

\dfrac{a}{18}=\dfrac{4}{a}      <em>cross multiply</em>

a^2=(18)(4)\\\\a^2=72\to a=\sqrt{72}\\\\a=\sqrt{36\cdot2}\\\\a=\sqrt{36}\cdot\sqrt2\\\\\boxed{a=6\sqrt2}

4.5w=5.1w-30, how do I solve it
Gala2k [10]
First you have to get the same variables on one side so you’d subtract 5.1w from both sides, making the equation -0.6w = -30

then you want to single out the variable, diving -0.6 on both sides making the new equation and the answer w = 50

hope this helps!

The area of a circle is 43.25cm2.<br> Find the length of the radius rounded to 2 DP.
Monica [59]

Answer:

3.71 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Area of a circle equation: A=\pi r^2 where r is the radius

Plug in the area 43.25 cm²

43.25=\pi r^2

Divide both sides by π to isolate r²

\frac{43.25}{\pi} =\frac{\pi r^2}{\pi} \\\frac{43.25}{\pi}=r^2

Take the square root of both sides to isolate r

\sqrt{\frac{43.25}{\pi}} =r\\3.71=r

Therefore, the length of the radius rounded to 2 decimal points is 3.71 cm.

I hope this helps!
