The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 6.5, what is their product? show work please

4 0

Let b>a,

a+b=40 so we can say a=40-b

We are told that b-a=6.5, using a found above in the equation gives us:

b-(40-b)=6.5

b-40+b=6.5

2b-40=6.5

2b=46.5

b=23.25, and since a=40-b

a=40-23.25

a=16.75

So a=16.75 and b=23.25

check...

16.75+23.25=40, 40=40

23.25-16.75=6.5, 6.5=6.5

What formula do i use when it tells me to find the area with a given circumference? If you know please give an example as well,

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A = C^2 / 4 x pi

so if the circumfernce was 10 you would square it to make it 100 and then you would do 4 x pi to get 12.57 ( rounded).

you would then just divide 100 by 12.57 = 7.96 ( rounded)

hope it helped
