The diameter of the semicircle is 16 feet.

He calculates that he needs to buy abut 25.12 feet of fencing.

To find amount of fencing we find the circumference of semicircle

Circumference of semicircle = \frac{1}{2}\pi d+d

Where d is the diameter of the circle

d= 16 given and value of pi is 3.14

Circumference of semicircle = \frac{1}{2}*3.14*16+16

=25.12 + 16 = 41.12 feet

Scott's calculation was wrong because he forgot to add the diameter d

Circumference of circle  is half way of circle plus the diameter of circle.

Correct amount of fencing = 41.12 feet

The circumference of a circle exceeds the radius by 74 cm. Find the radius of the circle.​
saw5 [17]

Answer:

14 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the radius of the circle = r cm.

Then circumference of circle = 2 π r.

Since circumference exceeds the radius by 74 cm

Therefore, according to the question,

\sf \:2 π r = r+ 74

\sf \: =   > 2 \times  \frac{22}{7}  \times r =  r \:  + 74

\sf \: =  >  \frac{44r}{7}  -r  = 74

\sf \:  =  > \frac{44r - 7r}{7}  = 74

\sf \: =  >  \frac{37r}{7}  = 74

\sf \: =  > r =  \frac{7 \times 74}{37}

\sf \: =  >  r = 14

  • Hence, the radius of the circle is 14 cm.

Can someone please teach me how to add, subtract, multiply and divide negative numbers?
dedylja [7]
If both numbers are negative u add those up and ur answer will be a negative. so number one is negative 9.
if there is more positive ur answer will be a positive. so number 2 is 13.
number is more complicated so negative 3 +4 is 1 because u have more positive and u just subtract those then 1 minus 8 equals negative 7 and negative 7 minus 7 is 0. hope this helps
