Answer:
A = 153.94 sq mi
Step-by-step explanation:
In this scenario, we would be starting from the center point and searching the area of a square since the distance in every direction would the same 7 mi. This 7-mile distance would be our radius in this scenario. We now need to use the formula for the Area of a circle to calculate the search area. This formula is the following
A =
A =
A =
A = 153.94 sq mi
A total of 153.94 square miles must be searched.

Answer: v = -3
=========================================
Work Shown:
As you can see, we don't square both sides until the square root portion is fully isolated or on its own side. So it happens after we subtract 1 from both sides.
Technically, you are able to square both sides without first isolating the square root. But that would mean you'd have to use the FOIL rule and things would get a bit messier than they have to be. Not to mention that the square root term wouldn't fully go away (so you'd have to square again later down the line).
------------------
Checking the answer:
Replace every copy of v with -3. Simplify both sides. We should end up with the same number on each side
The answer is confirmed.
