Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

4a+2b= 86 cm

a²+b²= 386 cm²

a+b=?

----------

  • 4a+2b= 86  
  • 2a+b= 43
  • (2a+b)²=43²
  • 4a²+4ab+b²=1849

b²= 386- a², b= 43- 2a

  • 4a²+4a(43-2a)+386-a²-1849=0
  • 4a²+172a-8a²-a²-1463=0
  • -5a²+172a-1463=0
  • 5a²-172a+1463=0

solving quadratic equation we get

a=19 - integer solution

b= 43-2*19= 5

a+b=19+5=24

A circle has a diameter of 29 feet. What is the area? *
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>660.5 square feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle = πr²

where r is the radius

From the question

diameter = 29 feet

To find the radius given the diameter we use the formula

radius =  \frac{diameter}{2}  \\ radius  =  \frac{29}{2}  \\  = 14.5 \:  \: feet

So the area of the circle is

A =  {14.5}^{2} \pi \\  = 210.25\pi \\  = 660.519...

We have the final answer as

<h3>660.5 square feet</h3>

Hope this helps you

Find the slope of the line that would pass
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we go!

Slope Formula:

\frac{ {y}^{2} -  {y}^{1}  }{ {x}^{2} -  {x}^{1} }

What we know: (-4, -52) and (-1, -22)

Plug in the numbers!

\frac{ - 52 - ( - 22)}{ - 4 - ( - 1)}

Fix it!

\frac{ - 52 + 22}{ - 4 + 1}

Add

\frac{ - 30}{ - 3}

Divide

(negative divided by a negative is a positive!!)

Slope is 10

Hope this helps!
