Answer:

x = - 5, x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you require to find the values of x

Calculate the distance PQ using the distance formula and equate to 20

d = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-x_{1})^2    }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = P (15, x ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q (x, - 5 )

PQ = \sqrt{(-5-x)^2+(x-15)^2} = 20 ( square both sides )

(- 5 - x)² + (x - 15)² = 20² ← expand factors on left side using FOIL

25 + 10x + x² + x² - 30x + 225 = 400

2x² - 20x + 250 = 400 ( subtract 400 from both sides )

2x² - 20x - 150 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² - 10x - 75 = 0

consider the factors of the constant term (- 75) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

the factors are - 15 and + 5 , since

- 15 × 5 = - 75 and - 15 + 5 = - 10 , then

(x - 15)(x + 5) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15

Given the circumference of a circle is 26 pi, what is the area of the circle? Show work. Leave answer in term of pi.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:169pi

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference(c)=26pi

Circumference(c)=2 x pi x radius(r)

26pi=2pi x r

Divide both sides by 2pi

26pi/2pi=(2pi x r)/2pi

13=r

Radius(r)=13

Area of circle=pi x r^2

area of circle=pi x 13^2

Area of circle=169pi
