Let's let $0<a$ be the number units the radius must be increased. And so the change in area we can write as: \Delta A=\pi(r+a)^2-\pi r^2=b Now...

\overline{MK}=\sqrt{(\sqrt{2}a)^2+(\sqrt{2}b)^2}=\sqrt{2\left(a^2+b^2\right)}=\sqrt{2(50)}=\sqrt{100}=10 :D

At a guess you are forgetting about the cross term. (a + b)^2 \neq a^2 + b^2. It is (a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2. You are going to end up having to...

4. Hello jacobi,

When you thank someone two things happen, the tally of the number of thanks that user has received is increased by one, and the number of thanks you have given is increased by one. These are two of the stats on users that the forum software keeps track of, and it serves as a type of reputation system.

Best Regards,

Mark.
