The LCM (least common factor) of 12 and 27 is the number: 3
Answer:
7.5 square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by counting the number of squares that the lake completely or almost completely covers. There are six of these, as indicated by an X. Then find the squares which are about half covered by the lake. These are indicated by a Y. There are three of these. The remainder of the squares that contain some portion of the lake are less than half covered, so we will not count them.

1 square = 1 sq. mile
Each X counts as one square mile, and each Y counts as 0.5 (12) of a square mile.
(6 × 1) + (3 × 0.5) = 6 + 1.5 = 7.5
The area of the lake is about 7.5 square miles.

The formula for calculating the area of a circle is expressed as;
A = πr²
- Area of the pond = πr²
- Area of the path = Area of the path + pond - area of pond
- Area of path = π(r+1.5)² - πr²
Since the area of the path is equal to the area of the pond, hence;
π(r+1.5)² - πr² = πr²
Add πr² to both sides
π(r+1.5)² - πr² + πr² = πr² + πr²
π(r+1.5)² = 2πr²
(r+1.5)² = 2r²
Expand the parenthesis
r²+3r + 2.25 = 2r²
r²+3r + 2.25 - 2r² = 0
-r² + 3r + 2.25 = 0
r² - 3r - 2.25 = 0
Multiply through by 2
2r² - 6.0r - 4.5 = 0
<em>This proves the required equation</em>
