According to the Pythagorean theorem the square of the hypotenuse (c) is the sum of the squares of the legs (a and b):
c² = a² + b²
We have:
a = 3x
b = 15
c = 3x + 3
Now, let's replace these parameters:
c² = a² + b²
(3x + 3)² = (3x)² + 15²
(3x)² + 2 * 3x * 3 + 3² = 9x² + 225
9x² + 18x + 9 = 9x² + 225
Rearrange:
9x² - 9x² + 18x = 225 - 9
18x = 216
x = 216 / 18 = 12
You would multiply that number by 1.175
Remember that 17.5%=17.5/100=0.175
I this case, there is a whole number that is increasing by 17.5% so we add a whole to the 17.5%
100%+17.5%=117.5% or 1.175
So if 'x' was the number, the expression would look like:
1.175x
The formula for finding the area of a rug:

Plugging in the values we know, we can solve for s.

Take the square root of both sides.


is approximately equal to 8.89
So, 8.89 feet is the answer.
To find the area of a circle you do pi (3.14) multiplied by the radius squared.
The radius is half of the diameter: 11 / 2 = 5.5in
The radius squared is 5.5^2 = 30.25
Then take the squared radius and multiply that by pi 30.25 * 3.14 = 94.985
So the area of the circle is about 94. 99 in.
