Check the picture below

so, if the pressure is halfed, then the radius covered would be halfed

now, if 64π is the 100%, what is 16π in percentage?

\bf \begin{array}{ccllll}
amount&\%\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
64\pi &100\\
16\pi &x
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{64\pi }{16\pi }=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{4}{1}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies x=\cfrac{1\cdot 100}{4}

Answer:

150.72 feet^2 is the difference in the area covered.

Step-by-step explanation:

A lawn sprinkler sprays water 8 feet at full pressure, P.

A lawn sprinkler rotates 360 degree which means area covered by sprinkler is of circular shape. Since the sprinkler is in center and sprays the the water 8 feet away in all the direction while rotating.

Radius of the circle = 8 feet

Maximum pressure = P

As we know that higher the pressure higher will the force by which water will move out of the sprinkler. And with more force, sprinkler will able to spray water farther.

So we this we can say that pressure of the sprinkler is directly proportional to the radius of the circle in which water sprayed

pressure\propto Radius

P\propto r

\frac{P_1}{r_1}=\frac{P_2}{r_2}=constant

P_1=P.P_2=P-50\%\times P=0.5 P

r_1=8 feet.r_2=?

r_2=\frac{0.5 P\times 8 feet}{P}=4 feet

Area when , r_1= 8 feet (Area of circle=\pi (radius)^2)

A=\pi r_1^{2}=\pi (8 feet)^2

Area when ,r_2= 4 feet

A'=\pi r_1^{2}=\pi (4 feet)^2

Difference in Area = A- A'

\pi (8 feet)^2-\pi(4 feet)^2=\pi(48 feet^2)=150.72 feet^2

150.72 feet^2 is the difference in the area covered.

What is the value of x in the equation 3(2x+8)=0
maxonik [38]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3(2x+8)=0

Divide each side by 3

3/3(2x+8)=0/3

2x+8 = 0

Subtract 8 from each side

2x+8-8=0-8

2x = -8

Divide by 2

2x/2 = -8/2

x = -4
