\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^{2}=484
Cancel out \pi on both sides.
\frac{d^{2}}{2^{2}}=484
To raise \frac{d}{2} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{d^{2}}{4}=484
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
\frac{d^{2}}{4}-484=0
Subtract 484 from both sides.
d^{2}-1936=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
\left(d-44\right)\left(d+44\right)=0
Consider d^{2}-1936. Rewrite d^{2}-1936 as d^{2}-44^{2}. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right).
d=44 d=-44
To find equation solutions, solve d-44=0 and d+44=0.
\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^{2}=484
Cancel out \pi on both sides.
\frac{d^{2}}{2^{2}}=484
To raise \frac{d}{2} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{d^{2}}{4}=484
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
d^{2}=484\times 4
Multiply both sides by 4.
d^{2}=1936
Multiply 484 and 4 to get 1936.
d=44 d=-44
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
\left(\frac{d}{2}\right)^{2}=484
Cancel out \pi on both sides.
\frac{d^{2}}{2^{2}}=484
To raise \frac{d}{2} to a power, raise both numerator and denominator to the power and then divide.
\frac{d^{2}}{4}=484
Calculate 2 to the power of 2 and get 4.
\frac{d^{2}}{4}-484=0
Subtract 484 from both sides.
d^{2}-1936=0
Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.
d=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\left(-1936\right)}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, 0 for b, and -1936 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
d=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\left(-1936\right)}}{2}
Square 0.
d=\frac{0±\sqrt{7744}}{2}
Multiply -4 times -1936.
d=\frac{0±88}{2}
Take the square root of 7744.
d=44
Now solve the equation d=\frac{0±88}{2} when ± is plus. Divide 88 by 2.
d=-44
Now solve the equation d=\frac{0±88}{2} when ± is minus. Divide -88 by 2.
d=44 d=-44
The equation is now solved.
