Hello!

Given the formula for the area of a square is:

<span>A=<span>s2</span></span> where A is the Area and s is the length of the side of the square, we can find the length of one side of the square by substituting and solving:

<span>9<span> in2</span>=<span>s2</span></span>

<span><span>√<span>9<span> in2</span></span></span>=<span>√<span>s2</span></span></span>

<span>3 in=s</span>

<span>s=3 in</span>

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can find the length of the squares diagonal which is also the diameter of the circle:

The Pythagorean Theorem states:

<span><span>a2</span>+<span>b=</span><span>c2</span></span> where a and b are legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. In this case, both legs of the triangle are sides of the square so the are both the same length. Substituting and solving gives:

<span><span><span>(3i n)</span>2</span>+<span><span>(3i n)</span>2</span>=<span>c2</span></span>

<span>9<span> in2</span>+9<span> in2</span>=<span>c2</span></span>

<span>9<span> in2</span>×2=<span>c2</span></span>

<span><span>√<span>9<span> in2</span>×2</span></span>=<span>√<span>c2</span></span></span>

<span><span>√<span>9<span> in2</span></span></span><span>√2</span> in=c</span>

<span>3 in<span>√2</span>=c</span>

<span>c=3<span>√2</span> in</span>

We can now find the perimeter of the square and the circumference of the circle.

Formula for Perimeter of a square is:

<span>p=4s</span> where s is the length of a side of the square.

Substituting and calculating p gives:

<span>p=4×3 in</span>

<span>p=12 in</span>

Formula for the circumference of a circle is:

<span>c=2πr</span> where r is the radius of the circle.

Or,

<span>c=dπ</span> where d is the diameter of the circle. Remember: <span>d=2r</span>

Substituting and calculating c gives:

<span>c=3<span>√2</span>π in</span>

We can then write the ratio of the circumference to perimeter as:

<span><span><span>3<span>√2</span>π in</span><span>12 in</span></span>⇒</span>

<span><span><span>3<span>√2</span>π in</span><span>124 in</span></span>⇒</span>

<span><span><span><span>√2</span>π</span>4</span></span>

How the heck do you solve these type of problems?
Trava [24]
21) 3(2j-k)=108 It is asking you to set the equation equal to j
distribute the 3
6j-3k=108
move k to the other side by adding on both sides
6j=108+3k
divide everything by 6
j=18+0.5k
