P(x) = x^2 + 4x
y = x^2 + 4x
use the formula (b/2)^2 to find the new c value
(4/2)^2 = 4
add 4 to both sides
y + 4= x^2 + 4x + 4
y + 4= (x+2)^2

y= (x+2)^2 - 4

A horse trot in a circle around it's trainer at the end of a 31 foot long rope. Find the area of the circle that is swept out. R

Mnenie [13.5K]

So, imagine the trainer is in the very middle of the circle and he is holding out a rope that's attached to the horse. The rope here from the trainer to the horse represents the radius of the circle. The horse trots around the trainer (middle point) in a circle.
The formula to find area of a circle is A = pi*r^2 (pi times r squared where r is radius)
We know that the radius of the "circle" here formed as the horse trots around the trainer is 31 (the 31 foot long rope).
So let r = 31 & plug the value into the formula to find circle area.
A = pi*31^2 = 3019.07054
The area is therefore 3019.07 square feet. (rounded)

Find the area of the following rectangle,

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

55/72 feet squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is Length x Height, or Width x Height.

Here, we have a width of 5/6 feet and a height of 11/12 feet.

We multiple 5/6 and 11/12 to get 55/72 feet squared.
