Draw or sketch out any problems like this, otherwise they appear abstract.
A circle’s area can be calculated by (pi d^2)/4 We have an area of 56 cm (^2?), so
pi d^2 = 56 x 4 (or 224) d^2 = 224/pi, d = √(224/pi)
A circle circumscribed around a square has a diameter equivalent to the length of the square’s diagonal, so the square’s diagonal is √(224/pi) (same as the circle diameter…)
A square’s side can be calculated, knowing its diagonal length, by use of Pythagoras’ theorem… The diagonal √(224/pi) is squared, divided by two, since the square’s sides are all equal, and the resulting number’s square root is calculated.
Squaring √(224/pi), we get 224/pi, and dividing by two, we get 112/pi, which is 35.6507 (cm^2), and the square root is 5.9708 cm, the side of the square.
I cannot emphasize enough that a drawing or sketch is an invaluable tool for these tasks, it saves having to retain a “picture” in your head. Note that a calculator was not required up until the last moment, dividing 112 by pi, and finding the square root of that answer. Picking up the calculator too early obliges you to transcribe numbers from the calculator to paper, and that can lead to issues. Try to enjoy maths, see it as a challenge not a chore. (and use correct units!)

No
Step-by-step explanation:
Should start at -7 and move 9 units towards right (in the positive direction).
Should stop at 2
For finding the value of b, we must consider that Line MN passes through points M(4, 3) and N(7, 12). With this condition y = mx + b, can be written 3=4m+ b (because line passes through M(4,3) ) and 12=7m+b, b ( because line passes through M(7,12)).
We have a system of equation
4m+ b=3
7m+b=12
For solving this, 4m+b- (7m+b)= 3-12, it is equivalent to -3m= -9 and then m=3, if m=3 so
4x3 +b =3 implies b= 3 -12= -9, so the value of b= -9
