The question gives the relationship to be

We will interpolate to solve the question.
First Question: 147 mi

Cross multiplying,
Formula for a circle: A=Pi*r^2
Diameter:2ft
Radius:1ft
A=3.14*1^2
A=3.14
Multiply by 4
4 squares=12.56ft squared
Formula for a square: A=s^2
A=4^2
A= 16ft squared
To find leftover you need to subtract 12.56 ft from 16 ft to get 3.44 ft squared(A).
No this cannot be written into a fraction there for it is a non- rational number. hope i helped :))
We are given the statement that the strength, S, of a beam of width w andheight h is proportional to wh2. hence using k as the proportionality constant, the equation is S = k wh2. the exact width and height can be determined by applying optimization to the problem. optimization is taking the first derivative of an equation and equating then to zero
