Answer:

Tamara incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that

•21x=3·7·x;

•56xy=2·2·2·7·x·y.

Mark in bold all common factors, then GCF(21x,56xy)=7·x=7x.

Thus,

21x+56xy=7x(3+8y).

Hence, Tamara correctly found the GCF of numbers 21 and 56, but incorrectly factored the whole expression.

Match each area to its corresponding radius or diameter of the circle.(All areas are approximate.) )

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Radius: 12 units

Area: πr² = 3.14*12² = 452.16 square units

Diameter: 16.8 units

Area: πd²/4 = 3.14*16.8²/4 = 221.5584 square units

Radius: 3.4 units

Area: πr² = 3.14*3.4² = 452.16 square units

Diameter: 10 units

Area: πd²/4 = 3.14*10²/4 = 78.5 square units
