First calculate the circumference. Usually this is the diameter times pi, but since we are told to estimate pi, the circumference equals 56 * 22/7 or 176 feet.
In 4 minutes, 4 * 60 = 240 seconds pass. In this time, a 20 second period will occur 240/20 = 12 times.
So we know that the rider rotates 12 times and each rotation takes them 176 feet, meaning that they will travel 12 * 176 =  2112 feet

The sum of the areas of two circles is 80n square meters. Find the length of a radius of each circle if
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

8 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the 2 radii be x and 2x, then
π x^2 + π (2x)^2 = 80π

π x^2 + π 4x^2= 80π

x^2 + 4x^2= 80

5x^2 = 80

x^2 = 16

x = 4.

So the radius of the larger circle = 2*4 = 8 m.

A sidewalk is built 12 bricks wide by laying each brick side by side.how many inches wide is this sidewalk is each brick measure
yaroslaw [1]

To solve for the width simply multiply the two numbers:

width of sidewalk = 12 * (3 7/8)

 

Where 3 7/8 = 31/8

 

so calculating,

width of sidewalk = 12 * (31 / 8)

<span>width of sidewalk = 46.5 inches</span>

What is equivalent to<br>x2+ 14x = -13​
postnew [5]

Answer:

X= 1 AND 13

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+14x = -13

by completing the square method

you add the square of half the coefficient of b to both sides

which is (14/2)^2

x^2+14x+(7^2) = -13 +(7^2)

x^2 + 7^2 = -13 + 49

x^2 + 7^2 = 36

(x + 7)^2 = 36

find the square root of both sides

(x+7) = + or - 6

x=7-6 ; 1

or

x= 7+6 ; 13
