The area of a
circular fountain is
225πft2. What is the
diameter of the
fountain?

Using the formula for area of a circle: area = pi x r^2

You now have:

225pi ft^2 = pi x r^2

Divide both sides by pi:

225 = r^2

Take the square root of both sides:

r = 15

The radius is 15 feet.

The diameter is the radius x 2:

Diameter = 15 x 2 = 30 feet.

30 feet.

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
