Answer:

a = - 4, b = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Expand the left side, then compare the coefficients of like terms.

- 3(2x² + ax + b)

= - 6x² - 3ax - 3b, compare to - 6x² + 12x - 15

Compare coefficients of x- terms

- 3a = 12 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

a = - 4

Compare constant terms

- 3b = - 15 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

b = 5

How do I find the ratio of this? It makes no sense to me

Volgvan

Answer:

$\frac{169}{289}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides = a : b, then

ratio of areas = a² : b²

Here ratio of sides = 52 : 68 = 13 : 17 ← in simplest form, thus

ratio of areas = 13² : 17² = 169 : 289 = $\frac{169}{289}$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is found by using the equation:

$A = \pi r^{2}$

Radius = 1/2 (diameter) = 1/2 (16) = 8

So plug in:

$A = \pi (8)^{2}$

A = 64 $\pi$

A = 201.06193

Rounded A= 201. 06
