The Bible, a book that is considered the perfect word of a perfect god tells us what the value of Pi is. Let's see verse 1 Kings 7:23
 He also melted a sea of ​​ten cubits from one side to the other, perfectly round; Its height was five cubits, and a cord of thirty cubits encircled it.

 These are a list of specifications for the great temple of King Solomon, built about 950 BCE, and his interest here is that it gives a value of π = 3. If we divide 30 cubits between 10 cubits (which are the measures mentioned in written radical) gives us exactly 3.

 We know that the length of the circumference is calculated l = 2 · π · r; Since 2 · r is the diameter, it can also be said that

 circumference = diameter × π

 If we go back to what the Bible says, the diameter is 5 meters and the circumference of 15:

 circumference = diameter × π -> 15 = 5 × π

 with which the value of π is 3.

 This calculation of Pi is a bad approximation to the real value. The figure of 3 in the Bible compared with the real one which is 3.1416 ... indicates an error of about 6%.

The circles are identical. What is the circumference of each circle? Circle 1: radius of 2x; Circle 2: diameter of 2x+3. A. 3/2
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

C=6π

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, two circles are identical. The radius of first circle is 2x and the diameter of other circle is 2x+3.

If identical, it means that the radius of both circles are same i.e.

2x=\dfrac{2x+3}{2}\ \ (\because\ r=\dfrac{D}{2}, d=\text{diameter})\\\\4x=2x+3\\\\2x=3\\\\x=1.5

Radius of both circles is 2(1.5)=3

The circumference of a circle is given by :

C=2\pi r\\\\C=2\pi (3)\\\\C=6\pi

So, the circumference of each circle is 6π.

What is 1/2(x+14) because i am having trouble solving it and no calculator has been able to help me also.
ivann1987 [24]

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

\frac{1}{2}x+7

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

⸻⸻⸻⸻

\boxed{\text{Simplifying the equation...}}\\\\\frac{1}{2}(x+14)\\------------\\\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}*x = \frac{1}{2}x\\\\\rightarrow\frac{1}{2}*14=7\\\\\rightarrow     \frac{1}{2}(x+14)= \boxed{\frac{1}{2}x+7}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.
