Diameter of the basketball rim = 18 inches
Circumference of the standard basketball = 30 inches
Area of circle = π r²
Basketball rim = 3.14 * (18/2)² = 3.14 * 9² = 3.14 * 81 = 254.34 in²
Circumference of a circle = 2 π r
30 = 2 * 3.14 * r
r = 30 / (2*3.14) = 30 / 6.28 = 4.78 inches
Standard basketball = 3.14 * (4.78)² = 3.14 * 22.85 = 71.75 in²
254.34 - 71.75 = 182.59 in²
Answer:
$7
Step-by-step explanation:
I think take it or leave it
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one. If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.
Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2). The slope is thus
7.2-17.4 -6
m = --------------- = ----------- or -3/5.
23-6 10
Find the equation of the line. I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:
y = mx + b => 7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b. Solving for b, b = 21.
Now we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21
Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.
y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches (answer)
