What is the area of a pizza with a diameter of 12 inches? Round to the nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for pi.

Flauer [41]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf a \approx 113.0 \ in^2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming this pizza is a circle, we can use this formula for area:

$a= \pi r^2$

1. Find Radius

We are given the diameter: 12 inches, but the formula uses radius.

The radius is half the diameter, or:

$r=\frac{d}{2}$

$r=\frac{12 \ in}{2}$

$r= 6 \ in$

2. Calculate Area

Substitute the radius (6 inches) in for r. The question also asks us to use 3.14 for pi.

$a= (3.14)(6 \ in)^2$

Solve the exponent.

(6 in)²= 6 in* 6 in= 36 in²

$a= (3.14)(36 \ in^2)$

Multiply.

$a= 113.04 \ in^2$

3. Round

The question asks us to round to the nearest tenth.

The 4 in the hundredth place tells us to leave the 0 in the tenth place.

$a \approx 113.0 \ in^2$

The area of the pizza is about 113.0 square inches.

The table shows a proportional relationship between the number of pounds of bananas purchased and the total cost of bananas.

Liula [17]

Answer:

Choice A, C and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Your table is poorly presented

Given

x y

$\begin{array}{cc} {3} & {1.47} \ \\ {5} & {2.45} \ \\ {9} & {4.41} \ \ \end{array}$

First, we calculate the constant of proportionality (k)

$k = \frac{y}{x}$

For (3,1.47)

$k = \frac{1.47}{3}$

$k = 0.49$

For (5,2.45)

$k = \frac{2.45}{5}$

$k = 0.49$

For (9,4.41)

$k = \frac{4.41}{9}$

$k = 0.49$

From the above calculations, the constant of proportionality is 0.49.

So, the usable rows must also have 0.49 as their constant of proportionality

Choice A

$(x,y) = (2,0.98)$

$k = \frac{0.98}{2}$

$k = 0.49$ --- This is usable

Choice B

$(x,y) = (7,4.45)$

$k = \frac{4.45}{7}$

$k = 0.64$ --- This is not usable

Choice C

$(x,y) = (6,2.94)$

$k = \frac{2.94}{6}$

$k = 0.49$ --- This is usable

Choice D

$(x,y) = (1,0.54)$

$k = \frac{0.54}{1}$

$k = 0.54$ ---- This is not usable

Choice E

$(x,y) = (8,3.92)$

$k = \frac{3.92}{8}$

$k = 0.49$ --- This is usable

The length of a Rectangle is twice the width find the width if the perimeter is 60 cm

lidiya [134]

Perimeter= 2(length+width)

60= 2(l+w)
l=2w

Substitution method
60= 2(2w+w)
60= 2(3w)
30= 3w
10= w

Plug the value of w in.
l= 2(10)
l=20

Final answer: Length= 20, width=10
