the distance around a meteor crater is 9687 feet find the diameter of the crater use 22/7 for pi round to the nearest tenth

Assuming that the meteor crater forms a hemisphere, the formula for the surface area of the crater would be 2(pi)(radius^2). Set the crater equal to the formula for a hemisphere and substitute pi for 22/7 and you’d get 9687 = 2(22/7)(radius^2). Do some quick magic on the calculator to simplify and you end up with about 60,889.71 = radius^2. Take the square root from both sides and you get 246.8 when rounded. That should be the length of the radius, and so to find the diameter, just multiply that by 2 to get 493.5. Now I don’t really know what shape you mean by meteor crater, so we’re just assuming here that you mean half of a sphere, or a hemisphere. Don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, so good luck.

The given polygons are similar

Step-by-step explanation:

By observing the given diagrams, we can see that the respective angles are congruent.

Two shapes are said to be similar if they have same shapes or one shape is created by uniformly increasing or decreasing the side of other.

For this purpose we find the scale factor of greater to smaller image, if the scale factor is same for each side then the two shapes are similar

So,

The scale factor is:

$\frac{EF}{AB} = \frac{3}{1} = 3\\\\\frac{FG}{BC} = \frac{9}{3} = 3\\\\\frac{GH}{CD} = \frac{15}{5} = 3\\\\\frac{EH}{AD} = \frac{21}{7} = 3$
