Answer:

Circumference is a special case of perimeter. Both describe the total length of the boundary of a two dimensional figure, but circumference specifically refers to the perimeter of a curved figure or arc. Therefore it only applies to circles, ovals, ellipses, arcs, etc.

Answer:

Both words are used to talk about how long the boundary is of a 2D figure. Think of circumference as a special case of finding the perimeter. The term circumference refers to the perimeter of a figure without sides or something like a circle or arc.

So if we were to look at a rectangle and try to determine how long the boundary is we would use perimeter. On the other hand, if we have a circle we have no way to track how long each side is therefore we use circumference.

The correct answer for the exercise shown above is the first option and the las option, which are:

<span>y = 3x + 20
3x - y = -20
</span>
The explanation is shown below:

1. You have the folllowing expression given in the problem above:

y-2=3(x+6)

2. If you solve it for y, you have:

y-2=3x+18
y=3x+18+2
y=3x+20

3. And if you move the variables to the left member, you have:

3x-y=-20

Therefore, as you can see, the correct answer are the options mentioned above.
