Add 3 to -3 and -177 then divide -174 by6
1x + 8 = 10 + 0.5x
1x - 0.5x = .5x
.5x + 8 = 10
10 - 8 = 2
2/.5 = 4
Therefore, it will take 4 years for the two trees to have grown to the same height.
First, find the area of the shelf if it were a full circle.
the formula for the area of a circle is a=pi(r squared)
a=pi (10.5 squared)
a=pi x 110.25
a=3.14 x 110.25
a=346.185
now, you have to divide that area by 4 to get the area of the 1/4 circle
346.185/4=86.55
