The sum of two numbers is 18. The quotient of the two numbers is 17. What are the two numbers?

1 answer:

5 0

Let the two numbers be x and y
x + y = 18 . . . . . . . . (1)
x/y = 17 . . . . . . . . (2)
from (2): x = 17y
substituting for x in (1), gives
17y + y = 18
18y = 18
y = 18/18 = 1
x = 17y = 17(1) = 17

Therefore the two numbers are: 1 and 17

Can someone help me find the area of this circle and round to the nearest tenth

larisa [96]

the circle has a diameter of 12, thus its radius is half that, or 6.

$\bf \textit{area of a circle}\\\\ A=\pi r^2~~ \begin{cases} r=radius\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ r=6 \end{cases}\implies A=\pi 6^2\implies A=36\pi \\\\\\ A \approx 113.0973355\implies A=\stackrel{\textit{rounded up}}{113.1}$
