Answer:

a = 0.5 or 1/2

b = 19/4 or 4.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Isolate x's

x² - x = -5

Step 2: Complete the Square

x² - x + 1/4 = -5 + 1/4

(x - 1/2)² = -19/4

Step 3: Move everything to one side

(x - 0.5)² + 4.75

zepelin [54]

Answer:

14√2 cm

A = πr²

Let the radius of bigger circle is x.

We have:

π(14²)*2 = πx²

Solve for x:

x² = 2(14²)
x = √2(14²)
x = 14√2 cm
