Answer: 2.2464 × 10^8

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of obese Americans in 2011 - 2012 = 35%

Percentage of Americans who are adult = 72%

United States population estimate = 312 million

Adult = age 20 and above

Number of adult Americans (age 20 and above) :

72% of the total united states estimated population

72% of 312,000,000

72/100 × 312,000,000

0.72 × 312,000,000

= 224,640,000

Hence, estimated Adult American population (age 20 and above) = 224,640,000

2.2464 × 10^8

A semicircle has an area of 76.97 km² . Find its radius
vagabundo [1.1K]
Area of a semicircle = 1/2 πr² 

 1/2 πr²  = <span>76.97

Multiply both sides by 2:
</span>πr² = 153.94

Divide both sides by π:
<span>r</span>² = 49

Square root both sides:
r=√49

r = 7

Answer: r = 7

Does anyone know at this means:
Lostsunrise [7]
Let's say x = 16.  In the equation 4 + x(3/x) then you use 16 instead of x.  So it would look like 4 + 16(16/3).  4 plus 16 times 16 divided by 3.
