Because this is a second degree equation you will have 2 solutions. When you take the square root of a number you have to account for both the positive and negative roots. Since the square root of 289 is 17 then your solutions are +17 and -17.
um oki ...... -_- ahhhahahhahahah
Answer:
A = .785 inches ^2
Step-by-step explanation:
C = pi *d
We know the diameter = 2*r
C = pi*2*r
Substituting pi = 3.14 we can solve for r
3.14 = 2*pi*r
3.14 = 2*3.14 *r
Divide by 3.14 on each side
3.14/3.14 = 2*3.14 *r/3.14
1 = 2r
Divide by 2
1/2 =2r/2
1/2 =r
Now we can find the area
A = pi *r^2
A = 3.14 *(1/2)^2
A= 3.14 *1/4
A = .785 inches ^2
