Helps us make better decisions.
The better we know about the future of an outcome, the more possibility we have to work around it.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Let the side length for the octagon having 9m² as area = x
Side length for the octagon having area of 25m² = y.
Thus:
(area of similar polygons theorem)
The scale factor of their sides would be
. Which is:



Scale factor of their sides = 
Answer:
y = -21
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: -rad7, +rad7
Explanation:
- Divide the equation by 6 (x^2-7=0)
- Add 7 (x^2=7)
- Square root x to find solutions (x=rad7)
- Dont forget the radical means that there are two solutions!
If b>a, b-a=5 so b=5+a
ab=126, using b from above
a(5+a)=126
5a+a^2=126
a^2+5a-126=0
(a+14)(a-9)=0, since a<0 the numbers are
-14 and -9
