The total amount is "x", so, if 22.8 is 58%, "x" is the 100%,
Step-by-step explanation:
Simply use the general equation of a circle to obtain its equation given the center. Because radius is 5 units, this may be referred to the 3-4-5 triangle, meaning the point on circumference is 3 units across in the x-direction and 4 units up in the y-direction.
Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees
We know from the problem that
f + p = 21 and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation
so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree
substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree
