Find the GCF
The GCF is not known Thus we will need to factor by groups

2 numbers when added = -7 and when multiplied -30 those numbers would be
-10 * 3

Thus the new for would be
(2x^2 - 10x) (+ 3x - 15)
Factor the 1st binomial The GCF is 2x Thus 2x(x - 5)
Factor the 2nd binomial The GCF is 3 Thus 3(x - 5)

Thus the factored form would be
(2x + 3)(x - 5)

Hope that helps!!

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 19.625 \ ft^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is found using this formula:

$a= \pi r^2$

We know the circle's diameter is 5 feet, but we don't know the radius. Remember the diameter passes through the center from one side to the other, while the radius connects the center and the side. Therefore, the radius is half the diameter.
