Answer:Perimeter is the limit of any given geometric figure. Circumference is just the name given to a circle’s perimeter, in other words, the circle’s limit, its edge.

The reason for this is because the perimeter is, by definition, the sum of the lenghth of every side of any given geometric figure. A circle has either no sides, or number of sides, so its perimeter has to be treated differently.

Remember that π (Pi) equals 3.141592 approximately. This is a constant, meaning that no matter what circle you are studying, Pi will always have the same value. It is the relation between the diameter and the lenght of its circumference. A circle with diameter xwill travel 3.141592x before it completes a revolution. This is where Pi comes from.

So the difference would be that a “normal” perimeter is only the sum of the sides. A circumference is the perimeter of a circle, given a diameter and the constant value of Pi, that derives from other properties of the circle, and not by its sides (remember a circle has either none or nnumber of sides).

Two sides of a right triangle have the lengths 4 and 5. What is the product of the possible lengths of the third side? Express t
marishachu [46]

Answer:

19.2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1st Case:</u>

4 and 5 are legs of the right triangle.

Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2

We can say that 4^2+5^2=x^2

16+25=x^2

41=x^2

x=√41

√41 is about 6.4

x=6.4

<u>2nd Case</u>

5 is the hypotenuse of the right triangle and 4 is the legs.

Using the pythagorean therom: a^2+b^2=c^2

We can say that 4^2+x^2=5^2

16+x^2=25

x^2=9

x=3

<u>Final Step</u>

We need to multiply the two possible lengths for x. So for case 1 the length of x was 6.4 and for case two the length was 3. 6.4*3=19.2

Anwser: <u>19.2</u>

Lucy and Ayu sold a total of 1,080 iPads. Lucy sold 7 times as many as Ayu. How many did each sell
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

let L=lucy and A=ayu

l+a=1080

l=7a 7a+a=1080

8a=1080 8a/8=1080/8

ayu=135

l=7a l=7×135

l=945 so:-135+945=1080
