Thea has a key on her calculator marked $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$. If an integer is displayed, pressing the $\textcolor

{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key chops off the first digit and moves it to the end. For example, if $6138$ is on the screen, then pressing the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key changes the display to $1386$. Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again. After all these steps, the calculator displays $243$. What number did Thea originally enter?

Answer:

$9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.

To find: number that Thea originally entered

Solution:

The final number is $243$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $243$ must be $324$.

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.

As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,

the number before $18$ must be $81$

As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.

What is the value of x<br><br> Triangle with sides 10 6 x-6
Grace [21]
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14

The sum of the lengths of two opposite sides of the circumscribed quadrilateral is 12 cm, the length of a radius of the circle i
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

60cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that is a circumscribing quadrilateral, rather than one that is circumscribed. It is also called a "tangential quadrilateral" and its area is ...

 K = sr

where s is the semi-perimeter, the sum of opposite sides, and r is the radius of the incircle.

 K = (12 cm) (5cm) = 60 cm²

_____

A quadrilateral can only be tangential if pairs of opposite sides add to the same length. Hence the given sum is the semiperimeter.
