Answer:

$\frac{1}{1.6} = \frac{h}{7.2}$ ( since they're similar, they are proportional to each other)

1 (7.2) = h (1.6) (set the two up as a proportion and then cross multiply)

7.2 = 1.6h (divide both sides by 1.6)

h = 4.5 m (this is the answer)

A circular table has a diameter of 20 inches.what is the area of the table

Effectus [21]

Hello!

To find the area of a circle you do $\pi r ^{2}$

the "r" stands for radius which is half the diameter

So we do $\pi * 10^{2}$

Which gives us the answer of 314.16

Hope this helps!

Determine the next step for solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The solutions are $x=\frac{1+\sqrt{7}}{2}$ and $x=\frac{1-\sqrt{7}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$0=-2x^{2}+2x+3$

Group terms that contain the same variable, and move the constant to the opposite side of the equation

$-3=-2x^{2}+2x$

Factor the leading coefficient

$-3=-2(x^{2}-x)$

Complete the square. Remember to balance the equation by adding the same constants to each side.

$-3-0.5=-2(x^{2}-x+0.5^{2})$

$-3.5=-2(x^{2}-x+0.5^{2})$

Rewrite as perfect squares

$-3.5=-2(x-0.5)^{2}$

$7/4=(x-0.5)^{2}$

square root both sides

$x-0.5=(+/-)\sqrt{\frac{7}{4}}$

$x-\frac{1}{2}=(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1}{2}(+/-)\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1+\sqrt{7}}{2}$

$x=\frac{1-\sqrt{7}}{2}$
