Answer:

12 and 10   and

-12 and - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Larger number = x

Smaller number = x - 2

Equation

x*(x - 2) = 120

Solution

Remove the brackets

x^2 - 2x = 120    

Subtract 120 from both sides

x^2 - 2x - 120 = 0  Factor

(x - 12)(x + 10) = 0

x - 12 = 0

x - 12 + 12 = 12

the other number is 2 less than this one or x = 10

=================

x + 10 = 0

x = - 10

The number that is 2 less than this one is

x = -10 -2

x = -12

Plsss help it’s due today in an hour!!! (test grade)
Rudik [331]

Answer:

the area is 50.24 cm^{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find area of a circle is A=πr^{2}. A is area, and r is for radius. Since we have the diameter here, we just need to divide by 2 to find the radius. 8÷2=4, so there, the radius is 4. Now we need to square 4, and do 4x4, which equals 16. Now to multiply 16 by π, or 3.14. 16 x 3.14 = 50.24. The final answer is 50.24 cm^{2}. Hope this helped! :]
