Is circumference cubed, squared, or just left alone?

1 answer:

5 0

Circumference is a linear distance. So if the diameter is in feet, then the circumference is also in feet (not square feet or cubic feet)

-------------------------------------

Example:

Let's say we had a circle with diameter d = 10 feet

The circumference is approximately...

C = pi*d

C = 3.14*10

C = 31.4

The circumference is roughly 31.4 feet

The circumference is essentially the distance around the circle's edge. We can use a flexible ruler or a string to help measure out this distance, or you can imagine laying the circle's edge to be placed along a straight line, which is another way to help measure the perimeter.

Your two equations are at the top, in the box is what each variable represents. Below the box is total liters of the 15%, which is going to equal the total liters for 10% plus the total liters for 25%. Make your percentages into decimals. There’s a total of 30 liters so, x+y needs to equal 30. Isolate a variable, I chose y, you can do either or (isolating x would be more math). Y is going to equal 30-x, substitute that for the Y in the second equation, then you need to distribute 0.25 into 30-x. Then it’s simple math, subtract 7.50 from both sides, add like gets, divide both sides by -0.15, making x=20.
