Levi Ackerman I looked it up
We have x^2 + 2 · x · (11/2) + (11/2)^2 = - 24 + (11/2)^2;
Then, ( x + 11/2 )^2 = -24 + 121/4;
( x + 11/2 )^2 + 96/4 - 121/4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - 25 / 4 = 0;
( x + 11/2 )^2 - (5/2)^2 = 0;
( x + 11/2 - 5/2)·( x + 11/2 + 5/2 ) = 0;
( x + 6/2 )·( x + 16/2 ) = 0;
( x + 3 )· ( x + 8 ) = 0;
x = - 3 or x = -8;
The first choice is the correct answer.
22:6 is one of them. Do you need more than one?
First, we should calculate the areas separately.
4x8=32
5.6 x 4 = 22.4/2 = 11.2
4.5x4=22 22/2=11
4x8=32
32+11+32+11.2
64+22.2=86.2
So 86.2 ft2
Hope this helped. ^^
