Answer:the number of black tiles that Todd used is 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of black tiles that Todd used.
Todd has 21 white tiles and some black tiles to make a mosaic. Each tile has an area of 3 square. It means that the total area of the white tiles is 21 × 3 = 63 cm^2
The total area of the white tiles is x × 3 = 3x cm^2
The mosaic has a total area of 144 Square centimeters. It means that
3x + 63 = 144
3x = 144 - 63 = 81
x = 81/3 = 27
By using the formula pie radius squared times the height
The answer to that is (x^4 y^6+1)(x^8 y^12-x^4 y^6+1
5x (-7)y=4
y=-4/35
5x=4
x=4/5
(x, y) = (4/5, 4/35)
