Answer:

\sf \dfrac{1}{4} \pi \quad or \quad \dfrac{7}{9}

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>width</u> of a square is its <u>side length</u>.

The <u>width</u> of a circle is its <u>diameter</u>.

Therefore, the largest possible circle that can be cut out from a square is a circle whose <u>diameter</u> is <u>equal in length</u> to the <u>side length</u> of the square.

<u>Formulas</u>

\sf \textsf{Area of a square}=s^2 \quad \textsf{(where s is the side length)}

\sf \textsf{Area of a circle}=\pi r^2 \quad \textsf{(where r is the radius)}

\sf \textsf{Radius of a circle}=\dfrac{1}{2}d \quad \textsf{(where d is the diameter)}

If the diameter is equal to the side length of the square, then:
\implies \sf r=\dfrac{1}{2}s

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Area\:of\:circle & = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s}{2}\right)^2\\& = \sf \pi \left(\dfrac{s^2}{4}\right)\\& = \sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi s^2 \end{aligned}

So the ratio of the area of the circle to the original square is:

\begin{aligned}\textsf{area of circle} & :\textsf{area of square}\\\sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi s^2 & : \sf s^2\\\sf \dfrac{1}{4}\pi & : 1\end{aligned}

Given:

  • side length (s) = 6 in
  • radius (r) = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 in

\implies \sf \textsf{Area of square}=6^2=36\:in^2

\implies \sf \textsf{Area of circle}=\pi \cdot 3^2=28\:in^2\:\:(nearest\:whole\:number)

Ratio of circle to square:

\implies \dfrac{28}{36}=\dfrac{7}{9}

What value should go in the empty box to complete the calculation for finding the product of 62.834 × 0.45? A)2,213,360 B)2,313,
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

28.27530

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 62.834 × 0.45, to solve this expression, first we need to convert it to fraction

62.834 = 62834/1000

0.45 = 45/100

Take the product if the resulting fraction:

62.834 × 0.45 = 62834/1000 × 45/100

= (62834×45)/1000×100

= 2,827,530/100,000

= 28.27530

Which are perfect trinomials?
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A perfect square trinomial is the square of a binomial. It follows a pattern when it is factored, so that the first and last terms are perfect squares of monomials and the middle term is twice their product

What is the equation of the parabola with focus (3, 0) and directrix x = –3?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

x = \frac{1}{12} y²

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point (x, y ) on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix

Using the distance formula, then

\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y-0)^2} = | x + 3 |

Squaring both sides

(x - 3)² + y² = (x + 3)² ← expanding both sides

x² - 6x + 9 + y² = x² + 6x + 9 ← subtract x² + 6x + 9 from both sides

- 12x + y² = 0 ( subtract y² from both sides )

- 12x = - y² ( divide both sides by - 12 )

x = \frac{1}{12} y²
