Answer:
18.28 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the flower garden in the question :
The shape is composite and can be divided into 2 semicirles and rectangle
The perimeter of a semicircle is the Circumference of the semicircle = πr
Hence, 2 semicirles = 2πr
Radius of semicircle = 2/2 = 1
Perimeter = 2 * 3.14 * 1² = 2 * 3.14 * 1 = 6.28 m
The perimeter of rectangle; length and width are 6m and 2 m respectively :
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w) = 2(4+2) = 2(6) = 12m
Tve perimeter of garden = 6.28 + 12 = 18.28 m
That is what it looks like
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
