23+8X is the answer to this problem
The percent of change would be -33.3% which would then equal a 33.3% decrease (when decimal is rounded)
what I did was turn 1/4 and 1/2 into decimals to make it easier to solve
First, divide the shape into two figures ( a semicircle and a rectangle)
Then, find the are or the two shapes using the area formula for a semicircle (

) and the are formula for a rectangle (base x height)
Finally, add the two areas together and you have your answer
Your equation is gonna be a^2-24^2=25^2 and your answer is 7.
Pythagoras theoram? use it here!
That is,
H² = 15² + 4²
H² = 225 + 16
H = √241
H = 15.5
You should opt for 15.5
P.S: Best of luck for your test! ;))
