Your sister is considering two different shapes for her garden. one is a square with side lengths of 3.5 meters, and a circle with a diameter of 4 meters.

a. find the area if the square
b. find the area of the circle
c. compare your answers from parts a and b. which garden would give your sister the most space to plant?

the answer is a

step-by-step explanation:

add 5 subtract 1

step-by-step explanation:

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
