Answer: the trip (one-way) that Alan made on Saturday was 63 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance of the trip that Alan made on Saturday.

Let t represent the time that it took Alan to make the trip on Saturday.

On Saturday, Alan traveled North along minor roads averaging 36 mph to visit a friend.

Distance = speed × time.

Therefore, distance travelled on Saturday would be

x = 36 × t = 36t

On Sunday, he traveled East along main roads averaging 60 mph to visit his mother. The trip to visit his mother was 24 miles longer and took 18 minutes(18/60 = 0.3 hours) less. This means that the distance travelled would be

x + 24 and the time spent would be t - 0.3 hours.

Distance travelled on Sunday would be

x + 24 = 60(t - 0.3)

x + 24 = 60t - 18 - - - - - - -- - - 1

Substituting x = 36t into equation 1, it becomes

36t + 24 = 60t - 18

60t - 36t = 24 + 18

24t = 42

t = 42/24 = 1.75

x = 36t = 36 × 1.75

x = 63 miles

The circumference can be obtained fairly easily by simply substituting the d in c = πd for the colony's given diameter of 12 mm. Performing that calculation using the approximation of π ≈ 3.14, we obtain a circumference of 12 x 3.14 = 37.68 mm.

To find the radius, remember how the diameter and radius of a circle are defined. The radius is a length extending from the center of a circle to a point on its circumference, and a diameter is a line extending from one point on the circle's circumference to an opposite point, passing through the circle's center along the way. The diameter can, in this way, be defined as twice the length of the radius, which means we can find the radius of a circle by taking half of its diameter. In this case, our diameter is 12 mm, so our radius would be 6 mm.
