6 because the 36 is r² where r is the radius, r² = 36; we have to isolate the r so it's by its self, so square root both sides, r = 6
You have to put a picture of the problem
Start with the equation of a circle whose center is at (h,k) and whose radius is r:
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
Substituting the given coordinates of the center:
(x-5)^2 + (y-[-5])^2 = r^2, or (x-5)^2 + (y+5)^2 = r^2
Substituding the given coordinates of a point (6,-2) on the circle:
(6-5)^2 + (-2+5)^2 = r^2
Simplifying:
1^2 + 3^2 = r^2, or 1 + 9 = r^2, or 10= r^2. Then r = sqrt(10).
Answer:
length = 36 ft; width = 12 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width be x.
The length is 3x.
The perimeter is the sum of two lengths and two widths, and it equals 96 ft.
3x + 3x + x + x = 96
8x = 96
x = 12
Width = x = 12 ft
Length = 3x = 3(12 ft) = 36 ft
