Step-by-step explanation:The second way of approximating a square root is to use a calculator. Most calculators have a radical sign on them. To find the square root of a number, we enter the radical sign, then the value and press enter. This will give us a decimal approximation of the square root.
For the trapezoid, the equation used to solve for the area is,
A = (0.5)(b₁ + b₂)(h)
where b₁ and b₂ are the measure of the bases and h is the height. Substituting the known values above,
1224 = (0.5)(70.5 + 65.5)(h)
h = 18
Thus, the height of the counter top is 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
first of all, all answer options are basically wrong, because an area is always measured in units² (and not just in units).
the blue colored area is the area of the whole square minus the area of the circle.
the side length of the square is 2 times the radius of the circle (the diameter) : 2×12 = 24 units.
so, the area of the square is
24² = 576 units²
the are of the circle is
pi×r² = pi×12² = 144pi units²
so, the blue area is
576 - 144pi = 123.6106579... ≈ 124 units²
therefore, D is the right answer.
First let's rewrite it...
18a^2 + 20a + 8
Factor out a 2
2 (9a^2 + 10a + 4)
