I need help learning how to solve this problem please.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Radda [10]3 years ago
8 0

we have 4 gals, Stephanie, Andrea, Emily and  Becca.

btw the end point should be (-6, -7) and the start point is (8, 6).

so, if we know the distance between those two points, we can just cut it in 4 equal pieces and each gal will be driving a piece.

now, Emily's turn is after Andrea, BUT, we had first Stephenie driving ¼ of the way, then Andrea driving ¼ of the way too, but after ¼+¼, Emily comes on, but ¼+¼ is really 1/2, so when Emily starts, is really half-way through, or the midpoint of that distance.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{Hometown}}{(\stackrel{x_1}{8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})}\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\qquad
\left(\cfrac{ x_2 + x_1}{2}~~~ ,~~~ \cfrac{ y_2 + y_1}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+8}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7+6}{2} \right)\implies \left(\cfrac{2}{2}~,~\cfrac{-1}{2} \right)\implies \stackrel{\textit{Emily starts off}}{\left(1~,-\frac{1}{2} \right)}


Emily's turn ends ¼ of the way later, which will be pretty much half-way in between  (1, -½) and (-6, -7), so is really the midpoint of those two.


\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }
\\\\
(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-\frac{1}{2}})\qquad
\stackrel{\textit{San Antonio}}{(\stackrel{x_2}{-6}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-7})}
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-6+1}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{-7-\frac{1}{2}}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-14-1}{2}~}{2} \right)\implies \left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{~\frac{-15}{2}~}{2} \right)
\\\\\\
\left( \cfrac{-5}{2}~,~\cfrac{-15}{4} \right)\implies \left( -2\frac{1}{2}~,~-3\frac{3}{4} \right)

Jon and Becky measured the circle-shaped part of a sun they drew on the sidewalk.
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:  The approximate area of the circle is:  <span>3,629.84 cm² .</span>
______________________________________________________
Area of a circle, "A" :  A = π * r² ;

  in which: A = Area of circle ;
               π <span>≈ 3.14 ; 
</span>               r = radius; 

radius of a circle, "r" = d / 2  ;  in which:  "d = diameter" ;

Given "d = 64 cm " ; 
         
                       r = d / 2 = 64 cm / 2 = 32 cm ;
____________________________________________
   So;    A = π * r²  ;
 
            A ≈ (3.14) * (32 cm)² ;
 
            A ≈ (3.14) * (1156 cm²) ;
_____________________________________________

            A  ≈  3,629 .84 cm²  .
