77=3.14x^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
3.14x^{2}=77
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
x^{2}=\frac{77}{3.14}
Divide both sides by 3.14.
x^{2}=\frac{7700}{314}
Expand \frac{77}{3.14} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.
x^{2}=\frac{3850}{157}
Reduce the fraction \frac{7700}{314} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{24178}}{157} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{24178}}{157}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
77=3.14x^{2}
Multiply x and x to get x^{2}.
3.14x^{2}=77
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
3.14x^{2}-77=0
Subtract 77 from both sides.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{0^{2}-4\times 3.14\left(-77\right)}}{2\times 3.14}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 3.14 for a, 0 for b, and -77 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-4\times 3.14\left(-77\right)}}{2\times 3.14}
Square 0.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{-12.56\left(-77\right)}}{2\times 3.14}
Multiply -4 times 3.14.
x=\frac{0±\sqrt{967.12}}{2\times 3.14}
Multiply -12.56 times -77.
x=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{24178}}{5}}{2\times 3.14}
Take the square root of 967.12.
x=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{24178}}{5}}{6.28}
Multiply 2 times 3.14.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{24178}}{157}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{24178}}{5}}{6.28} when ± is plus.
x=-\frac{5\sqrt{24178}}{157}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{0±\frac{\sqrt{24178}}{5}}{6.28} when ± is minus.
x=\frac{5\sqrt{24178}}{157} x=-\frac{5\sqrt{24178}}{157}
The equation is now solved.
