The easiest way to solve this problem is to find the equation of the line joining these two points, then get the values of the points on this line.
We have first point (x1,y1) = (-3,4) and second point (x2,y2) = (1,1).
The equation of the line is y = mx + c
The slope (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (1-4) / (1--3) = -0.75
Then we will use one of these points to get the value of c as follows:
y = mx + c
1 = -0.75 (1) + c ..............> c = 1.75
The equation of this straight line is:
y = -0.75 x + 1.75
Now to get points on this line, we will assume values for either x or y and calculate the other as follows:
1- For x = 0:
y = -0.75 (0) + 1.75 = 1.75
point is (0,1.75)
2- For y = 0:
0 = -0.75 x + 1.75 ..............> x = 2.334
point is (2.334,0)
3- For x = 2:
y = -0.75(2) + 1.75 = 0.25
point is (2,0.25)
Total area of land = 1 + 1/2 = 3/2 square miles
Area of square fields = 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16 square miles
Number of fields = (3/2) / (1/16) = 24 fields.
Answer: the diameter of the circle is 226 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for determining the length of an arc is expressed as
Length of arc = θ/360 × 2πr
Where
θ represents the central angle.
r represents the radius of the circle.
π is a constant whose value is 3.14
From the information given,
Length of arc = 88π
θ = 140 degrees
Therefore,
88π = 140/360 × 2 × π × r
88π = 140/360 × 2 × π × r
Dividing both sides of the equation by π, it becomes
88 = 140/360 × 2r
88 × 360 = 140 × 2r = 280r
280r = 31680
r = 31680/280
r = 113 cm
Diameter = radius × 2
Diameter = 113 × 2 = 226 cm
