Answer:

2 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A square is inscribed in a circle whose radius is r = 1 cm

Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 2 r = 2 x 1

                                                                      = 2 cm.

So the diagonal of the square is 2r.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we find each of the side of the triangle is $r \sqrt 2$.

Therefore, the area of the square is given by $\text{(side)}^2$

                                                                         = $(r\sqrt 2)^2$

                                                                         $= 2 r^2$

                                                                         $= 2 (1)^2$

                                                                         $=2 \ cm^2$

Hence the area of the largest square that is contained by a circle of radius 1 cm is 2 cm square.

Answer:

The answer to your question is

x = -2 and y = 10     or   x = 10 and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

          x + y = 8   (1)      from (1)    x = 8 - y

         xy = - 20    (2)

       

Solve them by substitution

      (8 - y) y = - 20

      8y - y² = -20

      y² - 8y - 20 = 0

   ( y - 10) (y + 2) = 0

    y - 10 = 0              and      y + 2 = 0

   <u> y1 = 10 </u>                               <u>y2 = -2</u>

 x1 = 8 - 10                             x2 = 8 - -2

 <u>x1 = -2</u>                                  <u> x2 = 10</u>
