If the diameter of the semicircle is 1.7 centimeters, what is the circumference of the semicircle?
1 answer:
The formula for circumference is 
or 
. We have a diameter for the semicircle, so let's use the diameter formula. 
which is either 
or C = 5.338 if we multiply pi in as 3.14. BUT this is only half a circle, so we only have half that distance around the outside. Therefore, the circumference of half this circle is 2.669 cm. But we need to add the 24 mm in. 24 mm in centimeters is 2.4 cm. So 2.669 + 2.4 = 5.069

Answer:
(a) (6, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations has one of them in y= form, so it lends itself to solution by substitution.
__
Using the equation for y to substitute into the first equation, we have ...
2x -y = 10
2x -(-1/2x +5) = 10 . . . . . substitute for y
2x +1/2x -5 = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5/2x = 15 . . . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/5
Using the equation for y, we have ...
y = -1/2(6) +5 = -3 +5
y = 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, 2).
