Answer:

x = -5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

8 1

---------- = ----------

x+3 x+1

Using cross products

8 (x+1) = 1 (x+3)

Distribute

8x+8 = x+3

Subtract x from each side

8x-x +8 = x-x+3

7x+8 =3

Subtract 8 from each side

7x +8-8 =3-8

7x = -5

Divide each side by 7

7x/7 = -5/7

x = -5/7

An oval track is made by erecting semicircles on each end of a 46 m by 92 m rectangle. Find the length of the track and

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

$Length\,\, of\,\, the\,\, track=420.44\,m\\\\Area\,\,covered \,\,by\,\, the\,\, track=5893.06\,m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the Track:

Perimeter of the rectangle + Circumference of the two semicircle

Perimeter of the rectangle= $2(Length+Width)$

$Length=92\,m\\Width=46\,m$

Perimeter of the rectangle:

$=2(92+46)\\\\=2(138)\\\\=276\,m$

Circumference of Two Semicircle with same radius:

$r=\dfrac{46}{2} =23\,m$

$Circumference=2\times \pi \times r\\\\$

$=2\times 3.14\times 23\\\\=6.28 \times 23\\\\=144.44\,m$

Total Length of the track is :

$=276+144.44\\\\=420.44\,m$

Area Covered by the track is :

Area of the two semicircle + Area of the rectangle

$=(\pi \times r^2) + (Length\times Width)\\\\=(3.14\times (23\times 23 ))+(92\times 46)\\\\=1661.06 +4232\\\\=5893.06\,m^2$
