Answer: C)46 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the circumference of a circle can be calculated with this formula:
Where "r" is the radius of the circle.
Since John is putting a fence around his garden that is shaped like a half circle and a rectangle, then we can find how much fencing he needs by making this addition:
Where "l" is the lenght of the rectangle and "w" is the width of the rectangle.
Since we know that the radius of the circle is half its diameter, we can find "r". This is:
Then, substituting values (and using 
), we get:
Answer:
I want to stand on my own three feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
this creates a right-angled triangle.
the right angle (90°) being the angle between flag pole and ground.
the angle ground-wire is 50°.
because we know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180°, we know then that the angle flagpole-wire is
180 - 90 - 50 = 40°
so, we have the situation to know 1 side and all angles.
to get the other sides we use best the law of sine :
a/sin(A) = b/sin(B) = c/sin(C)
where the sides and related angles are always opposite of each other.
in our case now we have
24/sin(50) = wire/sin(90) = wire/1 = wire = 31.32977494... ft
so, the rounded answer is that the wire must be
31.3 ft long
