X^2 = x + 72 you have a quadratic.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)*(x + 8) = 0
x = 9 or x = - 8

We have to check this one. One of the answers could be wrong.
9^2 = 9 + 72
81 = 81 This one checks out and is OK.

(-8)^2 = -8 + 72
64 = - 8 + 72 
64 = 64.
Both answers work.

A window has the shape of a rectangle with a semi circle at the top. Find the approximate area of the window using the dimension
miv72 [106K]
First, let's find the area of the semi-circle.
Area of a circle = π*r²
Looking at the rectangle, the diameter for the circle is 2 ft. Since we need the radius though, divide the diameter by 2 to get the radius.
r = 1
A = π * 1²
A = π * 1
A = π

But since it's a semicircle, you need to divide that area by 2.
3.14/2 = 1.57

The area of the semi-circle is 1.57.

Area of a rectangle = lw
l = 2
w = 4
A = 2 * 4
A = 8

The area of the rectangle is 8.

Now add those together to get the area of the entire figure.

1.57 + 8 = 9.57

The figure is about 9.57 square feet.
