A homeowner is building a circular fire pit in his backyard. He plans to outline the pit with bricks and cover the space inside

the pit with sand. The homeowner has decided to build the pit with a diameter of 3 feet.
1. In order to know how many bricks to buy, the homeowner must know the distance around the outside of the pit. Calculate both the exact distance and the approximate distance.

2. In order to know how much sand to buy, the homeowner must know how much space needs to be covered inside the pit. Calculate both the exact area and the approximate area.

Answer:

<em>1) the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet</em>

<em>the approximate distance = 9.4 feet</em>

<em></em>

<em>2) the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2</em>

<em>the approximate area = 7 ft^2</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Required diameter d = 3 feet

1) The distance around the outside of the pit is the circumference of the circle that will be formed by this circular fire pit.

circumference of a circle is given as = πd = \frac{22}{7} x 3 = 9.428571429 feet

the exact distance = 9.428571429 feet

the approximate distance = 9.4 feet

2) The area of the circle that will be formed = \pi d^{2}/4 = \frac{22 *3^{2} }{7*4} = 7.071428571 ft^2

the exact area = 7.071428571 ft^2

the approximate area = 7 ft^2

N Example 3, the points are(0,3500) and (5,1750). Write an equation that represents the distance y (in feet) remaining after x m
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<h2>The time needed is 10 months.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given points are (0, 3500) and (5, 1750).

First, we use the formula below to find the slope of the line

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }=\frac{1750-3500}{5-0}=\frac{-1750}{5}=-350

Which means the function is deacrasing with a ratio of 350 feet per month.

Now, we use the slope and one point to find the equation

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )\\y-1750=-350(x-5)\\y=-350x+1750+1750\\y=-350x+3500

This linear function shows that the situation started at the y-intecept (0, 3500), which means the month 0 had already 3500 feet. In other words, the total distance is 3500 feet. Now, the x-intercept will tell us the time needed to travel that distance.

0=-350x+3500\\-3500=-350x\\x=\frac{-3500}{-350}\\ x=10

Therefore, the time needed is 10 months.
