Find the radius of the semicircle.

Let the side length of the squares be s.

Case A) Squares next to each other.

Then the radius of the semicircle is $\color{blue}r=s\sqrt{2}.$

Case B) Squares on top of each other.

Then the radius of the semicircle is:

$r^2=(2s)^2+(\frac{s}{2})^2\\ r=\sqrt{\frac{4\cdot4s^2+s^2}{4}}\\ \color{blue}r=\frac{s}{2}\sqrt{5}$

If I cut the wire in half and pass $175$ volts through it, how many milliamps of current will I measure?

$R_{wire}=\dfrac{U}{I}=\dfrac{500V}{25mA}\ \ (Ohm's\ law)\\ R_{\frac{1}{2}wire}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{500V}{25mA}\\ \dfrac {I\cdot R}{U}=1\ \to \ \dfrac{A\cdot \Omega}{V}=1\\ R_{2( \frac{1}{2}wire)}=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{1}{2} \cdot \dfrac{500V}{25mA}\cdot\dfrac{1000mA}{A} \cdot \dfrac{A\cdot \Omega}{V}=5000\Omega$

$I=\dfrac{U}{R_{2( \frac{1}{2}wire)}} =\dfrac{175V}{5000\Omega}\cdot \dfrac{1000mA}{A}\cdot \dfrac{A\cdot \Omega }{V}=\color{ blue}35mA$

35 milliamps of current will I measure.

How many miles is the distance from Penthaven to Jackson?

$v_1=\dfrac{s}{t_1}=\dfrac{s}{108min}\\ t_2=\dfrac{s}{v_1+\dfrac{1mil}{2min}}+\dfrac{s}{v_1-\dfrac{1mil}{2min}}\\ 225min=\dfrac{s}{\dfrac{s}{108min}+\dfrac{1mil}{2min}}+\dfrac{s}{\dfrac{s}{108min}-\dfrac{1mil}{2min}}\\ 225min=\dfrac{s}{\dfrac{s+54mil}{108min}}+\dfrac{s}{\dfrac{s-54mil}{108min}}$

$225min=\dfrac{s\cdot 108min}{s+54mil}+\dfrac{s\cdot 108min}{s-54mil}\\ 225min(s^2-54^2mil^2)=s\cdot 108min(s-54mil+s+54mil)\\ s^2-54^2mil^2=\dfrac{216s^2}{225}\\0.04s^2=54^2mil^2\\ 0.2s=54mil\\ \color{blue}s=270\ mil$

$x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\\ b^2-4ac=16-4\cdot 3\cdot 10=-104\\ (b^2-4ac)<0$

The discriminant is less than zero. The function has no zero, no solution.
