Answer:

We must add number 36 to complete the square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : x² + 12x = -3.

To find : What number must you add to complete the square.

Solution : We have given that

x² + 12x = -3.

Step 1) On multiplying and divide by 2 the term 12 x

x² + 2 * $\frac{12}{2}$ x = -3.

x² + 2 * 6x = -3.

Step 2 ) Now add and subtracting square of 6 on left side.

x² + 2 * 6x + 6² - 6² = -3.

x² + 2 * 6x + 6² - 36 = -3.

We can see first three terms are complete square

(x + 6 )² - 36 = -3 .

On adding both side by 36

(x + 6 )² = - 3 + 36

(x + 6 )² = 33.

Therefore, We must add number 36 to complete the square.

Which equation describes the circle having center point (3,7) and the radius r=4 in Standard form

Annette [7]

The equation of circle in standard form is $(x - 3)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 16$

<h3>Solution:</h3>

Given that circle having center point (3,7) and the radius r = 4

To find: equation of circle in standard form

The equation of circle is given as:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

Where center (h,k) and radius r units

Given that center point (h , k) = (3, 7) and radius r = 4 units

Substituting the values in above equation of circle,

$(x - 3)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 4^2\\\\(x - 3)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 16$

Thus the equation of circle in standard form is $(x - 3)^2 + (y - 7)^2 = 16$

What is the area of the square adjacent to the third side of the triangle?

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The area of the square adjacent to the third side of the triangle is 11 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the area of two squares, one being 33 units² the other 44 units². A square is present with all sides being equal, and hence the length of the square present with an area of 33 units² say, should be x² = 33 - if x = the length of one side. Let's make it so that this side belongs to the side of the triangle, to our convenience,

x² = 33,

x = $\sqrt{33}$ .... this is the length of the square, but also a leg of the triangle. Let's calculate the length of the square present with an area of 44 units². This would also be the hypotenuse of the triangle.

x² = 44,

x = $\sqrt{44}$ .... applying pythagorean theorem we should receive the length of a side of the unknown square area. By taking this length to the power of two, we can calculate the square's area, and hence get our solution.
