By what percentage must the diameter of a circle be increased to increase its area by 50%?

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

The area of a circle is:
 A = pi * (d / 2) ^ 2
 A = (1/4) * pi * (d) ^ 2
 Where,
 d: diameter of the circle.
 By clearing the diameter we have:
 D = sqrt (4A / pi) if the area increases 50% we have:
 D '= sqrt (4 * (1.5 * A) / pi)
 Rewriting:
 D '= sqrt (1.5) * sqrt (4 * A / pi) = sqrt (1.5) * D
 The new diameter is:
 D '= sqrt (1.5) * D
 The percentage increase is:
 [sqrt (1.5) -1] * 100% = 22.47%
 Answer:
 T
he diameter of a circle must be increased 22.47% to increase its area by 50%

In New York, state sales tax rates vary by county. In Allegany County, the sales tax rate is 8 1 2 %. a. A book costs $12.99, an
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$ 2.30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sales tax rate = 8\frac{1}{2}\%=8.5\%

The cost of the book is $ 12.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 12.99

= \frac {8.5}{100}\times 12.99

=1.10

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 1.10.

The cost of the video game is $ 39.99.

So, the tax on the book= 8.5% of 39.99

= \frac {8.5}{100}\times 39.99

=3.30

So, the sales tax on the book is $ 3.40.

The difference of taxes on both the items = $ 3.40-$ 1.10=$ 2.30

So, the tax on the video game is $ 2.30 more than then tax on the book.
