The absolute value - or distance from zero, is fairly simple to find. Make your final answer positive to find it.
X = Lilys weight
x + 34 = Arthurs weight
4x - 180 = combined weight
x + x + 34 = 4x = 180
2x + 34 = 4x - 180
-2x -2x
_________________
34 = 2x -180
+180 + 180
_______________
214 = 2x
107 = x which is Lily's weight
141 = x + 34 which is Arthur's weight
The total weight is 248
which is the answer that you get when you do 4(107) = 180 or
428 -180 = 248
Simple :)
Area of shaded part = are of 1/4 circle - area of both triangles.
Are of circle = pie r^2 so 100x3.14 = 314 cm2.
Area of triangle AOB= area of triangleDOE = bh/2= 5x10/2= 25 each
However, the traingles share a common area which is quad DOB(I)
Lets take traingle AOE, whose are is bh/2=10x10/2=50cm2.
50-area of triangle A(I)E= 50-(
