Draw or sketch out any problems like this, otherwise they appear abstract.
A circle’s area can be calculated by (pi d^2)/4 We have an area of 56 cm (^2?), so
pi d^2 = 56 x 4 (or 224) d^2 = 224/pi, d = √(224/pi)
A circle circumscribed around a square has a diameter equivalent to the length of the square’s diagonal, so the square’s diagonal is √(224/pi) (same as the circle diameter…)
A square’s side can be calculated, knowing its diagonal length, by use of Pythagoras’ theorem… The diagonal √(224/pi) is squared, divided by two, since the square’s sides are all equal, and the resulting number’s square root is calculated.
Squaring √(224/pi), we get 224/pi, and dividing by two, we get 112/pi, which is 35.6507 (cm^2), and the square root is 5.9708 cm, the side of the square.
I cannot emphasize enough that a drawing or sketch is an invaluable tool for these tasks, it saves having to retain a “picture” in your head. Note that a calculator was not required up until the last moment, dividing 112 by pi, and finding the square root of that answer. Picking up the calculator too early obliges you to transcribe numbers from the calculator to paper, and that can lead to issues. Try to enjoy maths, see it as a challenge not a chore. (and use correct units!)

This is a system of equations problem.
Blueberry = X, blackberry = Y
Joe:
5x + 10y = 135
James:
x + 9y = 104
Let’s isolate x from James’ equation.
x = 104 - 9y
Now substitute that into the first equation.
5(104 - 9y) + 10y = 135
520 - 45y + 10y = 135
-35y = -385
y = -385/-35. The negatives cancel out, leaving us with $11 for blackberries.
Now we can substitute that value into James’s equation.
x + 9(11) = 104
x = 104 - 99
x = $5
Final answer: Blueberry pies cost $5, blackberry pies cost $11.
When faced with an unknown variable in a maths problem, it is advised to find the subject formula and then use it to solve the equation to find the answer.
<h3>What is an Unknown Variable?</h3>
This refers to the type of variable in a given equation that has to be solved for because its properties or value is not known.
Hence, we can see that when faced with an unknown variable in a given math problem, it is better to find the subject formula, then input the value of this into an equation, to find the value of the variable.

#SPJ1
Answer:
Part A: (0.25+0.30+0.75) - 0.20
Part B:
Step-by-step explanation:
The jar contains 0.25 of apple juice and 0.30 liter of grape juice. Then, another 0.75 litter is added. Melissa drank 0.20 of that, making the value lower (Hint: subtraction).
So we have to add 0.25, 0.30, and 0.75. Subtract it by 0.20. My equation would look like:
(0.25+0.30+0.75) - 0.20
The simplified equation will be:
1.3 - 0.20
= 1.1
I used the associative property to simplify the parenthesed part of the equation, and subtracted it by 1.1. Even though it has been simplified, the result has no changed and it is still the same value as it would have been in the previous equation.
Best of luck, and have a blessed day! For any question or comments, please say so!
