Answer:

<h2>Option D is the right answer.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the option for which the value of the function will be increasing, with the increasing variable.

Vertical line means the value of the x is constant, for any y. Hence, it is not the answer.

Horizontal line represents constant functions. Hence option B can not be the answer.

The data having a positive slope represents a <u>increasing function with the increasing variable</u>. Vice-versa for the data having a negative slope.

That is why option D will be the answer.

At the park there is a pool shaped like a circle. A ring-shaped path goes around the pool. Its inner diameter is 22yd and its ou

First, we need to think about what we're actually solving for: the area of the path. To find this, we can find the area of the whole thing, minus the area of the pool.

The diagram would look something like the picture I attached. We know that to find the area of a circle, you do πr^2. The radius is half of the diameter, so halve the diameters:

22/2 = 11 yards
32/2 = 16 yards

Then solve for the area of both circles.
π $11^{2}$ $= 121$ π ≈ <span>380.13 (area of the pool)</span>
π $16^{2}$ $= 256$ π ≈ <span>804.25 (area of the whole thing)
</span>
Next, subtract the area of the pool from the area of the whole thing to find the area of the walkway:
$804.25 - 380.13 = 424.12$ (area of the walkway)

Finally, divide the area of the walkway by 6 to see how many gallons of paint you'll need:

424.12 ÷ 6 ≈ 70.69

So you'll need 71 gallons of paint!
