Answer:
96 in
Step-by-step explanation:
If the midpoints of the sides are joined to form the smaller triangle, then the perimeter of the smaller triangle is half the perimeter of the greater triangle, because the sides of the smaller triangle are midlines of the greater triangle. By the triangle's midline theorem, each triangle's midline is half the side to which this midline is parallel.
So, if the perimeter of 6th triangle is 3 inches, then the perimeter of 5th triangle is 6 inches, the perimeter of 4th triangle is 12 inches, the perimeter of 3rd triangle is 24 in, the perimeter of 2nd triangle is 48 in and the perimeter of the initial triangle is 96 in
The expression will look like this. (3*6)+4
Answer:
circle area = 1963.495 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given</u>
A rectangle 550 ft by 350 ft packed with circles on a rectangular grid
<u>Find</u>
the area of the largest circle that can be packed this way
<u>Solution</u>
The diameter of the circle must be a factor of both 350 and 550. We want the diameter to be the largest such factor. We can write the factors of 350 and 550 as ...
- 350 = 50 × 7
- 550 = 50 × 11
The largest factor common to both numbers is 50, so that will be the diameter of the largest circle that will fit on a square grid.
The area of a circle is commonly given by the formula ...
A = πr² . . . . . where r represents the radius of the circle.
The radius is half the diameter, so will be (50 ft)/2 = 25 ft. And the area of the circle is ...
A = π(25 ft)² = 625π ft² ≈ 1963.495 ft²
The area of one circle is about 1963.495 square feet.
_____
The total number of circles is 11×7 = 77. Their total area is 77×1963.495 ft² ≈ 151,189 ft². This is 151,189/192,400 ≈ 78.54% of the total area of the rectangle.
