If the perimeter of the garden is (14x - 32) ft and has a side length of (x + 2) ft:

  • the perimeter = 24 ft
  • the area = 36 sq. ft
  • if the perimeter of the garden is doubled, the perimeter of the new garden = 48 ft
  • if the area of the garden is doubled, the area of the new garden = 72 sq. ft

<em><u>Recall</u></em>:

  • A square has equal side lengths
  • Perimeter of a square = 4(side length)
  • Area of a square = (side $ length)^2

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

Perimeter of square (P) = (14x - 32) $ ft

Side length (s) = (x + 2) $ ft

<em><u>First, let's find the </u></em><em><u>value of x</u></em><em><u> by creating an </u></em><em><u>equation </u></em><em><u>using the </u></em><em><u>perimeter </u></em><em><u>formula:</u></em>

  • Perimeter of a square = 4(side length)

  • Plug in the values

(14x - 32) = 4(x + 2)

  • Solve for x

14x - 32 = 4x + 8\\\\14x - 4x = 32 + 8\\\\10x = 40\\\\x = 4

<em><u>Find how much fencing would be needed (</u></em><em><u>Perimeter </u></em><em><u>of the fence):</u></em>

  • Perimeter of the fence = (14x - 32) $ ft

  • Plug in the value of x

Perimeter of the fence = 14(4) - 32 = 24 $ ft

<em><u>Find the </u></em><em><u>area </u></em><em><u>of the garden:</u></em>

  • Area of the garden = (side $ length)^2

Area = (x + 2)^2

  • Plug in the value of x

Area = (4 + 2)^2 = 6^2 = 36 $ ft^2

<u><em>Find the </em></u><u><em>perimeter </em></u><u><em>if the garden size is doubled:</em></u>

  • Perimeter of the new garden = 2 x 24 = 48 ft

<em><u>Find the </u></em><em><u>area </u></em><em><u>if the garden size is doubled:</u></em>

  • Perimeter of the new garden = 2 x 36 = 72 sq. ft

In summary, if the perimeter of the garden is (14x - 32) ft and has a side length of (x + 2) ft:

  • the perimeter = 24 ft
  • the area = 36 sq. ft
  • if the perimeter of the garden is doubled, the perimeter of the new garden = 48 ft
  • if the area of the garden is doubled, the area of the new garden = 72 sq. ft

The circumference of the bike tire above is 83.524 inches. What is the radius of the bike tire? (Use 3.14 for .) A. 262.27 in B.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Option <u>C. 13.3 in</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the required formula to find the radius of the bike tire :

\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{C_{(Circle)} = 2\pi r}}}

  • C = circumference
  • π = 3.14
  • r = radius

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the radius of the bike tire :

\begin{gathered} \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{C_{(Circle)} = 2\pi r}}} \\  \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 2 \times 3.14 \times  r}}}  \\  \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 6.28 \times  r}}} \\  \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{83.524 = 6.28r}}} \\  \\  \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{r =  \frac{83.524}{6.28}}}} \\  \\ \qquad{\longrightarrow{\sf{r  =  13.3 \: in}}} \\  \\ \qquad  \star{\underline{\boxed{\sf{\red{r  = 13.3 \: in}}}}}\end{gathered}

Hence, the radius of bike tire is 13.3 inches.
